...a student pilot in his Cessna landed at Shawbury instead of Sleap
Whereas in 1974, a Gnat QFI took control from his student (who was flying an actual weather diversion to Shawbury) - only to land at Sleap...

I don't think I know of any pilot with significant experience who has not confused the identity of an airfield to some degree.
Indeed so. Sorry, Withybush, it was me in 1976...... But thanks for being good enough not to complain.. Hope you liked the blue note!
