I remember Dunsfold ATC teling me one day they had just worked a guy landing there; must have been late '70s, the Shah being deposed early '79.
I also remember hearing that someone had done a PFL there and his reg had been reported to the CAA for flying within 500ft of a person, vessel, vehicle or structure.
