When I was at Lossiemouth there were rumours of a USAF F111 who was supposed to be in the (rain swept and misty) pattern for Lossie doing a roller at RAF Milltown (about 10 miles away) by mistake. Trouble was Milltown had been closed as a airfield for an awfully long time, so when said F111 landed at Lossiemouth about 20 minutes later (somehow) he had what was left of a barbed wire fence in the undercarriage. It could have just been a fairy story, but we laughed at the time.
