I had a cataract removed a couple of years ago. Like you I was apprehensive, after all we only have 1 pair of eyes. In the grand scheme of things there are hundreds of these operations every day and relatively low risk. The clinic I went to (Newmedica), were very good and efficient. I was in and out in about 45 minutes, and no (medical) side effects. The main problem for me was that as I wear glasses the prescription for he eye was obviously wrong and you have to wait several weeks before you get new glasses but your eyes will adjust temporarily. If you don't wear glasses, you should be fine. Because the "fogginess" will have been cleared bright lights can be a nuisance for a few days until things settle down. BTW remember you will need a chauffer on the day, you may have an eye patch for the day & this invalidates your insurance. I'm not going to tell you whether to go ahead or not, just to discuss it with Specsavers & the clinic as there should be an appointment with a surgeon before the op to check what has to be done and a chance to talk everything through. All the best

Battle of Britain Memorial Flight (Official) On Saturday 9th July 2022 during one of our scheduled flypasts in Derbyshire, an illegally flown drone was found to be flying in close proximity of our Hurricane aircraft. Following court proceedings this afternoon, the drone pilot in question pleaded guilty to endangering the safety of historic aircraft. We would like to share this as a reminder to all drone users that there are strict rules and regulations surrounding the usage of drones, and severe consequences if pilots are found to break regulations.

Memories. I started my RC journey in the late sixties with an OS15 powered Robot, single channel with an Elmic Compact escapement. Excellent stable model for learners

I use flight radar 24 (web version) there is an app but I've not used it. The map shows aircraft in the area and clicking on 1 calls up the kind of information you're looking for. The basic web version is free & it looks like the app may be too. http://flightradar24.com

I still have my original Harry Brooks 4 channel system (built from his kit) with the grey servos. Doubt it will ever see action again ??
