a few more misses

on the subject of the 707 at northolt. if you look eastwards towards london from lhr there are 2 gasometers. one is on the approach to northolt and one is on lhrs approach. the northolt one has no on the side, if i remember correctly its next to southhall station. the lhr one has lhr or something like that on the side. i remember a b737 of britannia landing at gutersloh when it should have been at wildenrath! wot happened was it was ex lionheart in 84, mod was using airliners as troop transports . most of the aircraft went to gut and this guy had just got so used to going to gut that he landed at gut. there wasnt a problem cos he was empty in to pick up troops going home. lionheart was quite impressive, its not every day at an raf station you have 2 747s a tristar and a 757 on the asp.
