[url= http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/scotland/tayside_and_central/8198268.stm ]Recalling one of Captain WE Johns' adventures about James Bigglesworth, Mr Hagedorn said: "There's a story where Biggles has his engine shot up over enemy lines.
"He tries to get back to the airfield and doesn't quite make it and ends up with no height over a wood.
Firefighters used a long ladder to reach the stranded pilot
"What he does is he flies into the wood, and, as he flies into the wood, he pulls the stick back to pancake onto trees - and I just did that. I just stalled into the tree."

Top work that man!
I don't get this bit
[i]He found himself left with no choice but to make his first emergency landing at the golf course, after a failed attempt to put down at Dundee Airport.
[/i]
How can you fail at an airport?
Dundee/behind enemy lines - that says it all really. Probably brought down by sustained NED air rifle fire.
This is how to do it.

Bloke sounds like he might have a few issues

I'm kind of surprised he didn't try and land on a fairway - there are 18 of them after all.
Got to worry about his thought process when landing in a tree seemed preferable to a long strip of closely mown fairway 😯
