FFF: re- the Jodel...

BEagle: at least you knew what the RWY's were... I once diverted into Oxford due weather and was quite stressed... they told me I was cleared to approach RWY "xx" but my brain heard "yy" (don't know what I said for the readback) and it was the nice man in the TWR gently enquiring why I was turning left instead of right that got me back on track! That was a bad day... haven't had one like it since!

Ghengis:
And I for one have flown stationary or backwards several times in FW aeroplanes (and no, it wasn't a Harrier). Quite entertaining, but bad for the soul too close to the ground and can make navigation fiddly
sounds fascinating: do tell!
