Dark, cloudy and cold
Three filters at once: night, instrument meteorological conditions (cloud or low visibility), and winter where the aircraft was - December to February in the north, June to August in the south.
Light conditions are recorded from 1982, so this collection starts there. Use the explorer's Conditions filters to try other combinations.
