BOAC, I take-off or land with a small tailwind a couple of times a year perhaps - certainly I would say less than "quite a few" when considering it in terms of a percentage of operations.
The answer was in response to a post about whether you would turn 180º on a runway after a landing with an engine fire. If that's the option you would take, fine. Personally, I wouldn't - as I stated, I would turn into wind.
