I think you must have..... From the Board Report "Incident AC2 [Typhoon(2)] called final 19 secs after Incident AC1 [Typhoon(1)] and was cleared to land in turn. Having heard the previous call, Incident AC2 [Typhoon(2)] believed he could see the two aircraft ahead (when in fact there were 3) and was unaware that Incident AC1 [Typhoon(1)] had flown a wider than usual visual circuit.
