Many, many years ago a student pilot with a Prentice was found on the Chivenor RLG (Winkliegh?). He had come from Feltwell, in Norfolk.
Just post solo, he had entered cloud on a SW heading, and could do no more than hold s&l on instruments. After some time he worked out that he might run out of land, and tried to do a 180. He lost control and spun out of cloud, where he recovered from the spin and landed at the first airfield he saw.
New batch of pilots - same old problems!
