In my opinion the best approach to Sumburgh is left hand to 15 .. inside the hill...you have to touch down left wheel first as you're still in the turn!!
Flamin heck - you remember that
I read about it in an old copy of the Shetland Times - was it 1975 or thereabouts? Did it really land on rw33?
When I read it I did wonder if the paper had made a mistook with the type of aircraft - if I remember it was a divert from Denmark to Faroe, was it freight or pax? Guess they waited for a windy day before they tried to depart again.
