Also remember when a light aircraft possibly a Cessna 150 was allegedly stolen from White Waltham flown in in the early hours of the morning and parked under the wing of our beloved ELAL 747. Pilot never identified and disappeared into the night.
It was actually a Chipmunk, stolen from Denham. It belonged jointly to William Hickey of the
Daily Express and to London businessman Peter Tory who later flew it back to Denham.
It had been stolen in the early hours and had been flown low over buildings and traffic on the M4 before being landed on the grass at the airport next to RW27R.
