In another era and whilst a young Plt Off ATC type at Lyneham back in 1970 ish. I was on duty, in local, one Saturday afternoon (very quiet shift) when I had a call from either Crash 1 or the caravan controller (can't remember if we had one or not, anyone remember?) saying that there was a car and caravan combo parked by the marshalling point! Told him to get owner of said combo up to local pronto. Turns out the bloke was from Birmingham, en-route to Cornwall, with his family and had decided to take a break for lunch and though it would be a good idea to watch the aeroplanes at close quarters.........he said that nobody queried him when he drove onto the camp!
