Danny, to be fair Frosty was doing some Co-Pilot Dual training, so he would have kept Local busy with his roller landings. Word has it that espying the car crossing the runway after he had taken over to roll following the co's landing, he pulled back and so staggered over what turned out later to be his own car. Downwind he informed ATC that this would be a full stop and final landing. Thereafter he shut down, signed off the F700 and auth sheet, and made for the OM. There he had a couple of stiff whiskies and made his way home to his OMQ. Apologising to his wife for his now somewhat belated arrival, he explained that he had called in at the bar to steady himself after a rather unnerving experience. "Never mind your unnerving experience, I've had a far worse one, I was nearly run down by an aeroplane earlier!", she complained!
As to Bembridge Drive, is the view any better on Bing?
