Having finished my basic flying training at Cranwell, I went to Leeming to do a short flying course whilst waiting for a Gnat course. After the Leeming course, back to hold at Cranwell for a couple more months.

One day, I flew back to Leeming with an instructor in a JP5. My approach, so the usual 300 kt 300 ft run-in-and-break. Called initials, smacked it over onto its side, pulled like a bug ger, rolled out on final......

For the wrong RW!

I'd joined for the correct one, but pulled too tight and ended up nicely set up on the wrong one. Went round with the instructor pi$$ing himself with laughter!
