Yes, the Austrians had to put up with the High German tape.

On the way back, we had to go round again - just 100 feet (?) or so from touchdown close to the hangars and up we went, sharp left and an unscheduled tour of South London at 4,000 feet.

It would have been interesting to hear the explanation in French, Dutch, Spanish and Swedish - we had it in Scots. (It was because an Eva Air freighter on the ground got lost and entered the landing runway.)
