Not contributed to this thread before but the comment about Wrong Country reminded me of an episode involving American Trans Air in 1988. They were operating a sub-charter with a 727-100 on behalf of Paramount from the UK to Gerona, and landed in Perpignan by mistake! There was no emergency or problem with the aircraft, and even the cabin crew made the usual announcement welcoming everyone to Gerona!! I was working for Paramount at the time and we were told that the crew had "made an error"!
