I remember one evening (it was dark) in, I think, 1968/9 an Ethiopian pilot in a Canberra going off the runway (21) at Waddington during a practice diversion. Apparently he was deceived by the runway gradient into thinking that he had reached the end of the available concrete. I recall all this very clearly as I was SDO and so had to attend the incident; Viv W was DCF. A later report in Air Clues was entitled "Bundoo Bound".
