[Interest Declaration = Bristol Airport are my landlord!]
I know Bristol gets some bad press for high fees BUT kudos to the management for readily agreeing to reimburse a GA pilot of a light aircraft that had to divert into Bristol due weather worse than forecast.
I was asked to review the METARS against the TAF and, objectively, the weather was far worse than forecast. It helped that I was up flying and Bristol had a lot of CAT diverts on that day from Cardiff, Bournemouth, Southampton and Birmingham.
Good to see the continued support for AOPA's / Charles' scheme.
