Firefly Bob do you remember the day a student buzzed two local universities after a row with his girlfriend and was arrested by the busies on his return. I often wonder what became of him. Your dad was CFI then wasnt he or was it Barry something or other ?

My funniest moment at EMA was when an Aztec landed one day and called for taxi instructions. ATC said "taxi where, DF indicates you just landed at Wymeswold!"
llanfairpg, yes I recall both incidents very well! In the former I recall that the person involved had (allegedly) also managed to do this whilst drinking a bottle of gin (or was it vodka) in the process and also hit a powerline with the tail blacking out the local electricity in the process! Yes Hector was CFI then - I think Barry was the one that went to Monarch and eventually married (I think) Joyce Barton who worked on reception for quite a while.

There was also a case in the early days when a Viscount landed at Wymeswold instead of EMA.
