In his 1971 autobiography, "When the Flag Drops" Jack Brabham recounts a journey to Cornwall in his newly bought Cessna. Unable to land in the field suggested by the person he was visiting, he flew to St. Mawgan (not knowing the radio frequencies) and tried to land there, only to find "there was a BOAC Boeing 707 landing and taking off and doing circuits and bumps". He reckoned there was a ninety degree crosswind and "the 707 was nearly shunted every time it hit the ground and almost scraped its wing on the tarmac". He eventually landed on the disused cross runway and had to wait while "two people came out and held the plane on the ground while I knocked the power off"!
