Odiham certainly has had it's share of oops wrong airfield incidents.

I recall a Dan Dare 727 on very short finals suddenly realising that Lasham didn't normally have Pumas on it's runway!

There was also the day when it rained gliders when one pilot mistook Odiham for Lasham and landed with many following his example.

I was driving down the runway at Wyton one day to be confronted by two German F-4's short finals opposite direction.

After collecting brake chutes and doing the follow me, I had took great joy in saying to the crews " Welcome to RAF Wyton, Alconbury's that way".
