supposed to be a true story!
BOAC passenger jet in the early 70's waiting to land at Frankfurt and talking to the notoriously cranky german air traffic controllers.
German ATC-- " Flight 679 you are cleared to land on ze runway 29 and proceed directly to stand 61 left. Do not make a mistake as you will cause us much trouble"
BOAC pilot --"Can you provide directions to stand 61 left please"
German ATC--(huffing)"Dont you know where to go? Havent you been here before?"
BOAC pilot--" Yes Ive been here before, twice in 1944, but we didnt land!"
