The latest echos on the radars are different. The Met shows precip
just curling up towards Dover and Avbrief shows nothing there. I have
noticed this a few times over the last few days.
Is it worth paying for AV when The MO is better even though 15 mins
behind?

It isn't a case of "better" or "worse", this is a problem that needs
to be reported to Avbrief so they can get it fixed!

The two radar images were essentially identical at 21:30, except that:

1) as usual, avbrief is showing patches of lighter rain than the Met
Office radar - especially in the English Midlands

2) the avbrief image seems to be cut off on the English side of the
Dover Straits instead of going across to the French coast.

This looks like either an error in the data feed provided by the Met
Office (which as Jon has pointed out before, is a different feed from
the one used on the Met Office website); or a processing error at
Avbrief itself.

Either way, the problem needs to be reported to Avbrief! They respond
fairly quickly to problem reports and get them fixed fairly quickly in
my experience.
