I landed at St Davids on 22 Feb 83 according to my logbook. We launched off on ACT 5 1v1 with the crosswind out of student landing limits at Brawdy on the understanding/metman-promise that the strong easterly wind would die off during the sortie. It didn't so the insructor landed at Brawdy whilst I made a lonely circuit to land at St Davids. It was a desolate place with a quarry in the over-run of that runway. After landing I cleared the runway onto the NW/SE runway shut down into wind and waited. I think there was a solitary fire engine there but all ATC was done through Brawdy tower which was visible from the airfield. After an hour or so an instructor, one Flt Lt J Newton, arrived and flew us back to Brawdy in 65 seconds (which I rounded up to 5 minutes). XX197.
