Not to mention the Tutor which recently mistook Sleap for Shawbury and broke off half-way down finals, allegedly...
Unlike the Gnat Sqn Cdr who actually took control off the student on an approach to Shawbury and proceeded to land at Sleap. When a chap in an unusual car (it was a prototype of the new model Cortina, I gather) drove up and asked him why he'd landed at Ford's test ground, the penny dropped....

The rest of the students on the course were going to make a banner proclaiming "Welcome to RAF St Mawgan" to hang from the tower at Valley to welcome him home - but were advised that this would not be A Good Thing To Do!
