Albert duly drops the guys and
most manage to land on the airfield--however---one decided he wants to have a look at Knutsford and heads off in that direction--but the
real star was the one who made a dead heading for the roof of the Fire Station-and plonked himself right on top !. It has to be said that (a) there was lots of sympathy from the females and (b) the bets as to whether he would hit the hangars went into double figures pdq !. No injuries btw.
Alberts departure from MAN was " interesting and entertaining"
You mean this occasion!! I was there and took these photos.There were in fact two of them that hit the fire station.
