Fair enough - I fly at Gransden lodge (254 ft AMSL) and was told that it
was about the highest point in Cambs by an old boy who flew Mosquitos
from there during WW2. His point was that it was high enough to have
fairly frequent radiation fogs about the time when they launched the
night's mission and hence were often on instruments during the take-off
run.
