Many years ago, I worked for a well known brewery's pub repossesion department.
Very early, (4am) we went to "take back" a pub in Sheffield, we entered the premises to find that the Landlord had invited regulars to finish off the local stock and they were still in situ.
We took a hasty retreat....
Still, I bet that was no where near as scary as repossing an aeroplane
Was the TCAS switched on? Flaps down? Fuel burn set to lean....
