Back in the '60's "Better On A Camel" put a DH Comet into RAF Changi instead of Paya Lebar International, in spite of the protestations of the controller who refused a visual landing as HE couldn't see the inbound on R20.
After announcing that he could see and WAS landing, said "Camel Driver" proceeded to make his visual approach and landed, and was not pleased to discover his error.
