OK, Prestwick. But I did say I had
never seen one land there. Back of a Vulcan or Nimrod you do not
see one landing.
BTW, I remember when we sent a Shackleton to Glasgow; it parked next to a Loftleider on the ramp to allow a crewman to be flown to Iceland.
We also took a Shackleton into Aberdeen one dark and snowy night; now that was a right royal brain box CU. AOC asked the next day what we were doing there; why hadn't we gone to Wattisham or somewhere sensible.
