I was getting smoke in the cockpit about 10 miles out so I shut down the master and phoned from my mobile to Pete's mobile to let him know I would be coming in with no radios, he said not only was he not in the tower but that he was actually sitting in Majorca with a beer in front of him but he'd call the tower and let them know. Hence the crash alarm. I must say the guys looked rather dashing in their firefighters outfights. The old tender was belching a lot more smoke than I was getting from the electrics!!
