Someone decided to have the aircraft static display park at Fairford one year (1990 I think) upwind of one of the car parks. When it came to depart, air and ground taxying wasn't possible due to the clutter on the airfield so it was a 'pull pitch and go' - quite a few cars had a lot more scratches on them and chipped windscreens after that.
