There was also the West German Noratlas pilot who was flying to St. Mawgan, lined up for a perfect approach to (disused) Portreath, and was shepherded onto the correct airfield by St. Mawgan's GCA controller.

So the story goes, on being asked if he had been to St. Mawgan before, the pilot reportedly said, "Ja, ja, but you vere shooting at me last time!"
