Does anyone know the reason why almost no postings are made on the OLC
by British pilots ?
I was watching Wimbledon on TV yesterday and noticed the great looking
skies over England so went to the OLC site to see what good flights
may have been made there - but nothing posted . I lived there myself
at one time and can vouch that occasionally some very good x/c
distances are possible !

Provincialism

A very unfair comment. There are many pilots in the UK (and the US as
well I imagine) who don't post flights anywhere, and also the
Wimbledon skies were exceptional for the UK. We rarely have
conditions that can compete with the continent, the US & the southern
hemisphere and there is also a lot of airspace to avoid in the
southern parts of the UK.

However, those that do post have put up some truely exceptional
flights, as a bit of hunting around in the 2007 results will show.
