I did a lot of circuits and my first solo at Blackpool (1976). The Manchester School of flying sent their puplils there. When you returned to Manchester you phoned the control tower and booked out to Manchester giving pilots name etce etc. I overheard a chap saying into the phone - Pilot's name BINSTEAD - no - BINSTEAD - BIN as in Rubbish, STEAD as in BED "!!
