I was scheduled to take one of the ac into Catterick. We went up there to discuss the whole thing with the fire school and the local plods. Because of the narrow taxyways and the A1, it was decided that we would do a short field landing, with chute, shut down on the runway and get towed round to final parking.

In the event, it was decide by the powers that be that we mere mortals were not capable, and the GSU would do the job. After a couple of approaches (with the A1 closed) they did the final landing without incident. Then they decided that, because they were the GSU, they would taxy round to final parking. Several hours later and many shovels full of dirt, the ac was dug out of the grass and towed away!
