I recall not exactly getting lost once but having the pax inform me the tank cap was flapping in the breeze and water was streaming off the wing. The water was of course fuel. Ah thinks me slightly keen to get on the ground Lyneham looks the very best option. A quick call and they were more than happy to accomodate and almost immediately I called final. The ATCO couldnt have been better as he said we have put all the runway lights on, that should help you line up correctly - well you have guessed it, in my haste I was almost lined up on one of the very nearby runways which was most certainly not Lyneham. A very good lesson was learned. However much you want to be on the ground it is still worth checking it is the correct bit of ground.

PS Pace - nice one.
