What is going on with the time???
EHM-1617 Iain:
According to the Online Flying page, it says that the LSZH to LPPT fly-in starts at 1930Z.
The current BST British Summertime is 1959, but it is only 1859Z.
But there are four pilots currently participating in the fly-in already (Gergely included). I thought it didn't start for another half and hour yet?
A confused...
EHM-0948 Bruno:
GMT time Iain .... It is currently 20:12 GMT.
EHM-1571 Moris:
I started because I am little confused in time after few beers (dinner was good,delicius:-))
EHM-1617 Iain:
Excuse me if I'm wrong, but the current GMT time when you posted that message was an hour earlier than you said it was!
It is now 1943 GMT (but 2043 BST) - check this site http://wwp.greenwichmeantime.com/
if you don't believe me, so the scheduled departure was 13 minutes ago and most people have departed an hour early.
It is the Daylight Saving Time that is confusing everyone - GMT is not affected by DST.
So the flight started at:
1930GMT
=2030BST (my time)
ie. 13 minutes ago.
Sorry if i'm totally mad, but I am 99.9% sure that I am correct.
EDIT: I meant to add - it has not been 2012 GMT yet - that is not for another 29 minutes!
EHM-1281 Cyriel:
My mistake people! I posted the time in Z while I meant GMT and CET(GMT+1). I forgot we both are on daylight savings now so I had to add another hour to the Z time. Next time I will only post the times in GMT and CET I guess that will be best for all.
Sorry again!!
