Oh, more Coltishall ATC. There was the day (AOC review) when 28 aircraft were launched in marginal weather (many longer stories in that), where the first aircraft to return (OC Ops), landed downwind, lost the chute and took the barrier. The subsequent three aircraft were “cleared to land, barrier up and engaged.”
A few more aircraft made it back to Colt, but the remainder were scattered around E Anglia, all short of fuel.
The following year (BoB) we flew 16 – with a new OC Ops.
