Something similar happened at Finningley on 29th Sep 1995 (albeit not as illegal as this!)
At 1655, OC Ops and Stn Cdr were having some friendly argy-bargy about who would be last to use the runway to depart to CWL as Finningley Closed for good (until Robin Hood Intl)
I can't remember who won, one NOTAM said the airfield closed (MATZ/ATZ) at 1700-PERM, but another said the Navaids (inc ILS) would be switched off at 2359-PERM.

So from 1701, several aircraft from Sandtoft (9nm North) all started to shoot the ILS on Rwy 20!! (Some overshot, some rolled (1995 phraseology))
