Had an incident at a secret Leaping Heap MOB in Rutland in the very early 2000's. Normal operating day for the Sqns, while VASS was quiet that day. Then a microlight style hi wing monoplane lands on the runway and taxi's off to a stop on one of the intersections. No radio calls to the tower. Nobody was expecting anything. The pilot in question was about 80 years old, ex Navy, had got lost and was trying to find out where he was. So he lands on an active military airfield to ask. I contacted the tower if they wanted us to go and get him, the SNCO Ops on duty replied "No, we will sort it". He then went out to get the guys details, tell he that he had broke loads of rules from the ANO and after getting his licence details, said he would be reported to the CAA. He was then allowed to leave on that note.
