What is not seen by the spectators on the beach is the seldom done, but jolly sporting offset VOR/DME approach to 22! This takes you between a couple of volcanic peaks and ends up in a Stuka dive plunge down to the downsloping runway, due to the steeply rising terrain to the North of the airfield. Bung in the ever-present howling crosswind (good for the windsurfers though) plus the fact that you're probably tanked up with fuel for the return and you you find yourself "Living in interesting times" as the ancient Chinese curse puts it!
