Wasn't there a "I Learnt About Flying" report once about an F4 in the Falklands that landed with aerial wire caught on the fin, shortly followed shortly by a call from an irate farmer who'd had his aerial ripped out by a low flying aircraft?

If my memory serves me correctly, the aerial was something like 30 feet above ground which meant the aircraft must have been almost scraping mud or it was inverted!!

TRUE....saw the culprit 2 days ago.......He was posted back to the UK at short notice......I had to replace him at very short notice!!

I think they worked out he must have got down to about 10ft.......very impressive it must have looked too!!
