What about the Aircraft that are airborne and want to get down on to Terra Firma?

June - mid 1970's at RAF Leeming:- Met man stood up to give his briefing and stated it was going to snow. Audience laugh until someone enters the room covered with white stuff.

We are then informed that several aircraft short of fuel are diverting to Leeming and the Runway has to be cleared of snow ASAP. Being June all the snow clearance equipment was being serviced. We did manage to keep the Runway open by "borrowing" MPBW's supply of shovels and brooms and all aircraft landed safely.

PS The PCL took all the credit!!!
