Runway in site

Avman, Sorry to say, you are a bore.

For the record, since we are reminiscing, some of us anyway, I remember, yonks ago in RAFG. We were detached to Wildenrath while our runway was being fixed.

On the way in to Wildenrath one lovely summer evening, we heard the following conversation :

“Mission xxx, you are cleared to land” (Brüggen)

“Cleared to land, xxx”

A p a u s e.

xxx then proceeds to do a roller on the E/W runway at Wilders (same direction as Brüggen, more or less) and calls “Rolling, proceeding to Brüggen”.

Then we heard :

“We saw, you, we know who you are and we know where you are going, but don’t worry, we won’t tell if you won’t”. (Wildenrath, who always had an open direct line to Brüggen).

I still find it amusing.

Bless you Thumper.
