A good few years back Netherthorpe (less than 400 metres of grass on the longest runway) got a "Finals 3 greens" call from a strange callsign. On looking up the approach, the huge and unmistakeable silhouette of a Vulcan bomber was seen.

He was joking, but apparently he did carry out a low overfly which impressed the locals no end!
