Lancastrian

As an A.T.C. Cadet in the early '50s I spent a lot of time at RAF Hendon. One of the Controllers described how he had closed the tower one evening and was on his bicycle when a Lancastrian landed apparently mistaking Hendon for Northolt. He described how the aircraft was stripped of seats etc. so that it could be ferried to Northolt. Anybody remember the incident?.
