I have a habit of jumping straight into an aircraft and taking off and then reading the how to fly manuals later as I have done with the Viscount That'll teach me. :redface:
Didn't realise just how close to Woodford I was. By the time it dawned on me, I was very much committed to Manchester and couldn't make any more course changes. I admit though, the suspense of will he or won't he make it was a lot more fun.
If this was an Airport movie I would've made it onto the threshold. Those movie aircraft seem to defy gravity and stay airborne longer than possible

I was going to say you forgot Jack Lemmon (Airport 77) but his plane did crash, although not his fault. Had Patroni (Kennedy) been flying the Viscount, he'd have made it to Edinburgh, never mind Manchester
