It was not unusual to fly the -10s back into Weybridge. Wind had to be in the right direction because of the railway at the north end. Fire engines were ready at the end of the landing roll to put out any brake fires! Getting out was never a problem and one could load quite q reasolnable amount of fuel. Take off in a 1-11 from Weybridge was much more "exiting".
