Decide to make for the other end and led their by my local man.
Well she comes in from the end we left about 4 circuits then you guessed she lands from the end we were at first of all.
Almost everybody at Brunters was taken entirely by surprise that she came back early and landed in the direction she did - the two guys who came out to tell you all to reposition were doing so in all good faith. I'm sure they appreciate your good wishes though.
On the airfield most of the media present were also in the wrong place (the BBC guys were at the mid point so caught her nicely regardless), and none of the engineers had arrived back from Cottesmore so big up to the volunteer who marshalled 558 to her parking spot - he wasn't expecting to have to do that when he woke up this morning!
Some times things don't go smoothly and some times you don't get lucky.
