Shawbury and Sleap and the Gnat. Dishforth and Leeming (both Runway 34). Oh, quite a few.

I always will remember (at Dishforth ATC), Leeming ATC coming on the Landline and asking if we had a Cranwell JP on our runway. Looking up from our game of Uckers, (we were closed at the time), 'Oh yes we have' was the reply. 'Ah' said Leeming, 'He's asking for taxy instuctions'.

'No problem' replied our Master Signaller Local Controller 'Tell him to turn left from where he is, cross the Southbound A1, join the Northbound and taxy for about 11 miles, then recall for parking'.
