My first approach to Londonderry surprise me when I saw a runway in pretty much the right direction, but we seemed a bit high. I asked the training captain that I was flying with and checked my plate. It was Ballykelly. It all made sense from there on in, but is a lesson to learn.

Unfortunately it is an easy thing to confuse two close airfields, and I can understand how the mistake could arise. Particularly after a long haul red eye, approach to minimums type of situation.
