A few years a go we were flying elton John to gleneagles and the weather wasn't great but our reliable man on the ground who provided lighting etc was keeping us updated at the weather appeared ok. We briefed on one attempt but made two as on the first go around the site became visual so we made a second attempt which was then unsuccessful. So we returned to Edinburgh. This was in the early hours of the morning and in the time we'd just 'wasted' they could have driven instead. Sir Elton got out of the cab and said nothing but another of his passengers was pretty upset with us (to say the least)!
The next morning we flew them on another leg. Rather amusingly Elton John turned up at the aircraft and had clearly reflected on the night before - he apologised sincerely for his hairdressers manner the night before and we explained how we understood and had their best interests at heart. His hairdresser arrived in a seperate car and got out, head ashamably down, said nothing and got into the cab - he was somewhat more friendlier and grateful when we arrived at the next destination!
