I was night flying from Odiham and heard a Navy Wessex pilot being cleared to land by Odiham Tower. After landing he requested taxi instructions. ATC suggested he got airborne again and taxy four and a half miles north east and report finals again.
I do know the pilot but because he was Royal Navy and obviously therefore a far better pilot than me
I’ll keep quiet about it…
