Didn't say it properly......
I thought I had a problem because the rev counter was oscillating like crazy, but the engine was still running smoothly. I steered towards nearby airfields heading back to home base just in case. I'd just started working Bedford (old MoD as was) when the engine seized solid with a very stationary prop. Rather than the proper mayday call, it came out as "er....engine stopped" with them replying "Roger, cleared land any runway you can make". I had 2500 feet and a tailwind and glided nearly 4 miles straight in. Taxing was a problem, but the fire crews that were alongside by the time I landed pushed me into the hangar, where she stayed for 3 months awaiting new engine. Adrenalin really does focus and sleep that night was more than difficult.
