Not an aircraft incident, but one very foggy night at Strubby I set off in a Mini to turn off the Pundit on the north side of the airfield [I think it was left on for Manby night-flying, if they could]. That achieved, it was now both dark and foggy. And, as a Strubby ATCO, it took me bloody
ages to find my way back across to the south side.
(Apologies, that's out of context. Just responding to a previous Gnat post.)
