Slightly off topic. A glider pilot landed safetly in a field near Northampton , about 60 miles from base and phoned in at about 5pm. His crew hitched up the trailer told us he had the Lat and long, and departed. About 3 1/2 hrs later we phoned the crew to find out if he had found the pilot. He said his GPS said he was about 5 miles away. An hour later when it was dark we phoned him again. He still he hadnt found the pilot but could see a signpost to Diss.
A few moments of confusion followed before we realised that he must have entered the coordinates as degrees E instead of W and was 60 miles off course.
The pilot slept in his glider and the crew slept in the car. They met up eventually at 7.30am the next morning
