An Odd Day's Flying
I was looking something up in my logbook last night when I came upon a day’s flying that I had completely forgotten about. In December 1983 I flew from Marham in a Tornado GR1 and had a hydraulic failure soon after take-off which led to us taking the runway 24 RHAG. I then went night flying with a different aircraft and a different pilot and had a further hydraulic failure which led to a runway 06 RHAG engagement. I think we had probably put the 24 RHAG out of service and, presumably, the tailwind was within limits for us to use the other one.
I didn’t do that many RHAG engagements in my time so two in one day at both ends of the runway was something rather out of the ordinary.
So, what was your oddest day at work?
