RAF Spadeadam, along with many other RAF Bases - Shawbury, Leeming, Benson etc, feature regularly due to the operational flying Squadrons all requiring detailed Met' briefs. However, due to defence cutbacks many of the names that the old-timers are familiar with are now gone (Wimpey housing estates probably), so no more Manston, BallyKelly, Pitreavie, Brawdy, St Mawgan, Binbrook alas. Another name that used to regularly pop up as low minima is Tow Law on the A68, nr Durham.
