The following video clip is of a landing into a French airfield (LFBH) under “special VFR”

Whether or not this was legal is left to the observer …. personally I wouldn’t want to attempt this without a full IR (or at least an IMC within UK airspace).

Sadly, this is the sort of weather we get in the UK a lot … with EASA talking of binning the IMC rating, and replacing it with something that has even less teeth, I suspect we may see more pilots attempting this “SVFR” without the training that the IMC or a full IR offers.
