Bruggen.....winter of 79.....it snowed as it does in Germany...and it froze...temp...-fecking freezing. A cunning plan is devised to clear the snow from the HAS furthest from the warmth....the Sqdn are "invited" en-masse to make this trip.... and watch.... a bad error of judgement here as you can imagine.
Take one Jag...position outside HAS ( not without some difficulty ) and start engines....bingo !.... snow duly does as expected......alas....the laws of physics were overlooked here....what melts, er, freezes.....pdq in this case. Result....one Jag marooned outside HAS....some excellent moguls for those who like this sort of thing.....plus the collective howls of derision for the unfortunate soul whose "blue sky thinking" was, erm, slightly clouded.
I seem to recall that in 77 Brawdy was closed for about a week as it snowed....and the station snow and ice plan wasn't.....as it didn't snow at Brawdy.... Newgale hill was transformed into a classical Alpine downhill run as a result.
