Had our radio go TU in Poland a while back, just before we gave in to the airspace dragons and got a transponder.
The return journey to France was a bit of a zig zag but one managed, with a certain amount of PPR by phone. Including the arrival at Nancy Essey in thousand foot overcast rain, with the warm front arriving ahead of schedule. We had carrier wave and intermittent receive and the controller was, unasked, and very helpfully, gettting us to transmit for QDM.
As it happened we were on track, but it was a good thought!
So were the runway lights and parking next to the entrance.
Twere more than a bit damp. The cub spent two weeks in a heated hangar waiting for the next VFR wx at a weekend (non radio through the military zones)
No charge.
Handswinging...... six months of that while we waited for a new starter motor. With shower of sparks mags.......
This FI don't poo herself with a radio failure
