Amen to that! First took a jumping bean in there in 1977 and for a few years afterwards, followed by a SHAR in ‘84. Didn’t initially realise that the runway sloped down to the west and ended up in the grass overshoot. Luckily not a prob for the Harrier and I managed to complete the after-landing checks before departing the runway (canopy open, mask off, wave at crowd!).

First time in, they parked me next to an F-104. “How the hell did you get that in.” I queried, to be answered “on a very large lorry!”

Good beer, great party and lovely hostesses - but that is an other story!

Relative drove me down the Portland (Dorset, not Maine) pier, next to the air-sea rescue helo base. Seemingly the pier was not in the database. Had set up the entrance gates as destination, once through those it said turn round, followed by "You are completely surrounded by water ...!".

My own is impeccable, except when going through the Channel Tunnel on the car shuttle train, switched off. For about 10 minutes after driving off it hasn't got a clue where it is, then suddenly recalibrates and all is OK.
