After our son had watched a programme last night on scary plane landings we got talking about landing and taking off at Corfu. I am sure that back in the 80s when we first came to Corfu we all stood outside and clapped a planes safe take off. My husband seems to think I dreamed it, can any one back me up? If not that means he's right and I'm not at all sure where I got that idea from. Any help anyone?

Ps. I've put this on the wrong page. I meant to put it on General Comments. Can anyone move it for me? Thanks.

We all used to clap and cheer when the plane landed safely (passengers in plane, I mean).

Now Ryanair have their lovely little fanfare if the flight lands on time.

I don't remember any participation from people on the ground, but then my memory isn't particularly reliable!

Thank you Elliemay. I think middle age is catching up with me!

I've been on planes where we've clapped when we landed in Crete and on return to Bristol. Mind you when we flew over London on the way home the whole plane started singing the Eastenders theme!

The only place I've every applauded the landing was at Skiathos! Very clapworthy!

Hi sooz,
Totally agree with that. Wasn't too keen on the take off from there either.

In the 80s the landings and take offs in Corfu were a bit scary

I have been on planes in the past when people have clapped on landing...however the one pilot that deserved a cheer when we landed in a very snow covered Luton Airport (and told later we were the last plane to attempt that landing for the day and they were going to close as it became unsafe), received no applause at all. Most of the passengers had their hands firming hanging onto the base of their seats!!!
