Many light years ago --

We did a practice air day demo for all at Lossiemouth in our Royal Navy T8 Hunters. This involved two passes and a landing from the second one which used up a lot of fuel. On very short finals we were ordered to go around. Our Leader said we needed an immediate landing which we did. It transpired that the go around was an order from the top brass who wanted to see the display again ! We might have equalled the RAF in the stats.
