Description: Pilot at home, in bed, writing lecture on airmanship principles (good landings begin with good approaches). Falls asleep and dreams he is in cockpit of Canberra T4 (WH840), still in pyjamas. “Too high too fast” results in running off the runway – Postman appears and asks “something wrong with brakes?”. Taxis with spongy brakes and collides with parked Canberra. If brakes feel spongy, stop and shut down and tow back to dispersal. Pilot wakes up late and leaves home in a rush on the scooter he'd been working on the previous day. His wife spots loose brake cable and tries to stop him. In his rush to get to work he takes a corner too fast and with no brakes ends up in the river. Something wrong with the brakes?...
