I was helping on the radio a couple of years ago at our local airfield when a young man on his first XC called in with difficulty finding us. Eventually we helped him locate the airfield whereon the CFI who was near ( a 'Top Pilot') took the mike and told him not to bother landing - he had failed and should now go straight back to his home airfield.
Me, I was about to ask him to land and have a cup of tea to settle his nerves!
It takes all sorts, Well done to the people who helped this particular lady.
