machines guns like she might get away But that is another story

When I was still pre-solo I went to help get an LS-8 out of a field about
20 miles from our airfield. It had landed in a big field behind a village
and, as you might guess, one of the locals had dialled 999 to report a
plane crash. When we arrived the last of the cops etc. had just left. On
rolling up with the trailer and asking a woman how to get into the field,
she told us and then had a small rant about how come a land-out that
wasn't even an emergency could block the main street with an ambulance,
fire engine and two squad cars, but somehow the cops, medics and firemen
were never available for a real emergency.
