From: Quite near 'An aerodrome somewhere in England'
Took a Warrior into that patch of mud and gravel known as Oxford Airport one windy day. Wind was about 25 knots straight down RW27.....but when we got there we found that it wasn't available as it was waterlogged. They wouldn't approve RW29. so the landing on RW19 was quite interesting - but the 'crab' technique worked fine and we touched down with no dramas. In fact I was more concerned with stopping the right wing lifting during the roll-out.

They wouldn't approve RW29 for departure; the take-off was probably more difficult than the landing. During the return to Cartoontown International, the turbulence was so rough that Pooley's made it from the front passenger seat to the back via the ceiling! I had a GS of about 45 kts on the way back at 1500ft....
