It's probably known by some of you that one actually landed on Salisbury Plain, after becoming lost in a snow storm. Very little damage was caused, being confined to the nosewheel u/c doors when it went through a barbed wire fence. A temporary road was constructed, and it was towed to Boscombe Down, where it eventually departed. Sounds unlikely, but it did actually happen, and I am sure there are people out there who know more about the incident than I. I know pictures of it in the middle of a field were published in Aviation News at the time.
