Does anybody else remember the last DH106 out of KK. On it's way to rest at Lasham the driver asked for an approach and low overshoot which was duly approved. At about 4 miles for 26 (there was no left and right then) he advised the ADC controller that the o/s would be from the North East to the South West. "Roger" said the lady controller. The Dan Air offices were in Horley and they were duly overflown as was the site of the future satellite and the new tower. Trouble was that the aircraft was clean and the throttles seemed to be stuck open. As he was approaching to land the 500ft bit of Rule 5 didn't seem to apply. Happy days!
We got into a lot of trouble for that one.
