Default Met Office aviation rainfall radar - gone or just my browsers?

Same for me. I just get an object called progbar11.gif where you normally
see the "please wait while it loads.." message. The radar links on the
Aviation subscription site are fine, though. Another thread here, mentions
housekeeping issues causing dead links and bookmarking problems.

But it was good to see how quickly they responded to criticism and reverted
the background colour to the original, on the radar on the main pages (odd
that they chose bright green to begin with) - but they still need to address
this on the new regional zooms. They have also quickly changed the heading
in the Day 6 to 15 "Weather Forecast: UK" boxes, to say "UK Outlook..."
because otherwise it could have been misconstrued as a Regional outlook .
They are obviously listening and responding to feedback (which is a pleasant
contrast with a certain intransigent broadcaster of weather forecasts...).
