One Saturday, the Red Devils (or some distant forebears) were en route to a display in a Dominie (old style). An engine packs up. Fully loaded Dominie can't maintain height on one. Pilot appeals to pax to do the decent thing: they oblige. Dominie lands safely at Shawbury.

SDO, Shawbury spends rest of afternoon organising transport to collect castaways from low taverns scattered round Shropshire.

(True Story).
