Re dits.
He once visited his brother Dale (a farmer 3 miles in the extended centreline of Rwy 34).
He visited at 250' and 230kts, in a Nimrod.
The phones in Leeming Ops rang continually for three days.
Oh Happy Days.
Oh and when he overshot from finals at ??? with a minor technical problem. I understand that Air Traffic put the Crash and Medic crews on full alert. He landing safely after the go around. He revealed to me some months later in the local pub, that he'd dropped his pipe on finals and he thought it may 'bugger up' the movement of the control column.
