During a session of CT ('pilot playtime') at Scampton, we rolled off an ILS, with the next approach to be an Internal Aids approach. We turned onto the outbound leg and told ATC that we'd advised turning inbound.

"All yours then, Radar" quoth the Captain.

And we waited for the inbound turn call...and waited...and waited

Falditz went past on the right... "I'll bet the bugger's asleep" muttered the Captain. "He is indeed!" responded the AEO

Market Rasen loomed up on the right...

Finally the Captain had had enough "ARE YOU GOING TO TURN US IN SOON, OR DO WE NEED TO CALL BINBROOK??!!"

"Wha...oh, umm, Roger. Turn right 140. Where the f..k??"

"Check the bloody TACAN and you'll find out" came the sympathetic reply.

"Scampton Approach, nnnnn turning inbound"

"Roger - we were beginning to wonder. As indeed were Binbrook!"
