I also remember someone hover-taxiing in cloud up Black Mountain in Norn Iron, to resupply a rebro, when he was caught by a sudden gust of wind and knocked the tailwheel off the Walter. I was asked to find the geographic location for the incident report which read something like “ Blah blah operational risk, blah blah, no forecast of gusty conditions etc”. Unfortunately the grid ref given for the mountain strike was a place called Windy Gap!

How I did larf!
