It's Not Working (#38),
...I can't even remember if Laarbruch had a caravan. It did have a hole in the ground at each end called a cupola but I don't think that counts...
All right, I'll buy it - WTF is this "Cupola" and what did it do ? Was at Geilenkirchen '60-'62 and we didn't have one.
Rescued one of your Canberras one dirty night with our CPN-4; Mission XX A had landed with you, one u/c folded, a/c reclined gracefully on runway on one ear.
Mission XX B up creek without paddle (would take 30 mins min to clear runway, he'd got 20 mins fuel). We were the only diversion, got him down no trouble at all with five mins fuel remaining.
As "Talkdown", felt glow of self-satisfaction. Pilot's "Thank you" all the reward I needed.
Happy Days ! Long ago now. Danny.
