A birdseed into Singapore mistook airports. Probably early eighties.
Seletar instead of Changi or other way round. Either way the skipper of course carried the can - big time. He was bailed up by the press as he left the terminal.
'What are your intentions now, Captain?'
'Well I'd say it's a fair bet I'll be looking closely at a little farm in Devon I noticed up for sale last week.'
In 1953 a RAF Canberra in the England-NZ air race landed at the little town site Connellan Airways unsealed strip in Alice Springs instead of at the main airport six miles south. She just got off in a huge cloud of red dust.
