So I supposed they all moved into houses near EMA? Sometimes it can be hard finding a lace where you can do meaty, high crosswind circuits and landings. In the past, before simulators reached the stage of development they are at now, it was common for BOAC ('oh why did they get rid of you?') to send a VC10 and a dozen pilots to Shannon, Toulouse or even Keflavik for nice 35 knot crosswind circuits. Bit of a pain awaiting your turn after 10 hours of banging around and crashing into the ground every 10 minutes.
