Stopstart
I flew through a plague of locusts on an approach into Sharjah during the late fifties. Both engines (Alvis Leonides) seriously overheated and the oil temps went off the clock when the oil coolers clogged up with thick green gunge. Five minutes earlier and we would have not made the runway. It turned out to be very good training for a future Ascoteer
