Channel Express Mail Flight to Guernsey

I was fortunate to fly the Channel Express Mail route from Bournemouth EGHH to Guernsey EGJB yesterday. On Ramp 02:45 for a 03:00 departure. The aircraft is the Fokker F27-500. Flight time was around 45-50 minutes.

Im currently testing a new Weather program called FSrealWX Lite. It seems straight forward in that you load it up and then hit Start where it then downloads the Metars for your airport and then injects that into your Flight Simulator.. Here is what the website says : http://www.fsrealwx.net/

"Weather addon for FS2002, FS2004, FSX, P3D and Xplane.

It decodes METAR and upper winds data (additional weather information such as types of cloud are in preparation) and sends it to the flight simulator.

FSrealWX will always remain freeware
supported new FSX weather features
more than 16,000 weather stations from all over the world
ocean forecast
Dircet Wind Control (DWV)
slightly gusty surface wind for realistic landing
aloft Winds, Temps and Humidity
more visible layers (FSX)
FSUIPC Wind Smoothing (works perfectly with FS2004)
Turbulence in/under cumulus clouds
generate cirrus 
display TAF for information
online VATSIM-Weather, IVAO-Weather or for offline use NOAA-Weather
Flight planner
Load editor
Aircraft editor
Flight recorder
and much more

Very simple to use and can be loaded before or after you have started FSX.

Here is a screenshot enroute to Alderney just before i setup for Finals into Guernsey (EGJB)
