The forecast slow start was entirely accurate, and there was a lot of briefings, gardening and fettling going on. By lunchtime, it was still quite grey but the murk did look as though it was starting to break up. 
When a Red Arrow passed overhead giving us a cloudbase check, we were encouraged to get the rest of the kit out, and first launch was at 15:19.
