Arrived at Shawbury at about 0900.
Departed at 1000.
Returned about 30 mins later due to poor weather.
Still on the ground at 1230 waiting for weather to improve.

Saying that - on looking at the clouds the wind looks decidedly westerly - so in that case they may use 23 - so if you want airborne arrival shots you might want to position yourself near Moreton Corbet Castle.
