As a "BOF",
I can remember... Air France Overshooting/Going Around at least twice from EGCD/Woodford 3.5nm SouthEast of EGCC/Manchester, [separate occasions, of course] also a USAF F111 doing a low [50'] flyby at Manch...during the Woodford Air Display
At EGBB/Birmingham Itl, "Cleared to land, r/w 33....actually landed at EGBE/Coventry r/w 24
Also a BA B747 "nearly" landed at a mil a/f instead of OPRN/Islamabad
ALL these examples are "VISUAL" approaches
we aim to please, it keeps the cleaners happy
