With typical Brith Isles weather, bet this hasn't happened..

"Jet Stream Damages Country’s Highest Astronomical Observatory"

[sologuitarist61]

Funnily enough the jet stream often passes over us in the UK and it is this that tends to bring us our bad weather - last weekends storms all came in on the back of the jet stream. It is just lucky that we don't have any really high ground - highland Scotland being the exception but there is nothing built on the top up there to be damaged.

It's probably a good thing we don't have many highlands, and observatories over that, damage would be a lot more common.

Cairngorm weather station gets a hammering from time to time. Wind speeds often exceed 110mph up there. And they build the kit very well but it doesn't last in that environment.

I think on top of a cable car ride from Avimore there used to be a cafe called the Ptarmigon ?
