The Vulcan radar who did an immaculate Int Aids approach....on Hemswell, not Scampton.

Several JP students who annoyed Dishforth instead of flying circuits at Leeming.

The 2 QFIs who flew their JP through Pembrey range between the tip-in point and the target with a Hunter flying hot strafe at the time. A quick bit of detective work by the RSO (me - guesting for the day) - and a quick call to St Mawgan with their spoof bombing score just as they were landing was sufficient embarrassment.

The Finningley JP navigator instructor pilot who appeared over the top of the nuclear weapons store at Scampton, then did a quick 180 hoping nobody had noticed. All those Vulcans should have given the clue that it wasn't Blyton.

The Buccaneer pilot who led a 4-ship through a live drop zone - only realiesd his error when he spotter a Landrover falling from the heavens in front of him....

The Hunter pilot who led a 4-ship right over Gatwick. Now flies for Cathay.

Another Hunter pilot who mistook Withybush for Brawdy and went over the top at 450 knots. Fortunately they didn't complain - but the Irish did when a different Hunter pilot was lost over Eire thinking he was over Wales...

Hands up who hasn't.......
