This sort of thing reminds me of the old 'Warrie' told to me by a WW2 Sunderland capt...
Believe it or not....
A 'new sprog' was being checked to the squadron, in the Sunderland, and started a perfect to the adjacent land aerodrome, when he got the red flare from the tower and suddenly realised his mistake, and 'went around'....
To do an almost perfect approach onto the water landing area nearby.
He 'buttoned up' the aeroplane and was still laughing as he stepped out, missed the launch, and in all his heavy gear, drowned.
That's sad.
