For those who say to always land on the numbers: what would you do at a "no runways" airfield? (I don't know if any are still left, but Solas beach would be similar.)
(Barra beach has marked runways.)
When I learned to fly, no radio, no tower lights, at Thruxton in 1964, the Jackeroos landed on the grass, according to the Signals T, but not on a runway. Land to the right of the preceeding aircraft, until near the hard runway, then a big jump to the left edge. A busy training airfield, with visiting traffic.
