...except on final approach to a narrow farm strip with a hedge at the end.
So, shower approaching strip, leading edge looks like it'll arrive at the same time as us. No worries, looked thin enogh to see through it. Made the plan of if I go around, bug out to Cranfield where its still clearish (nice rainbow...).
What I hadn't bargained for was the rain streaming up the windscreen. Never been a problem at height, but it removed all depth perception, making it quite hard to work out if I was going to go through or over the hedge at the threshold. We landed, but I shan't be repeating the exercise. No bother on a nice long piece of tarmac where less precision can be applied.
