Daft question from daft bint - how can they police it?

So Tarquin the pilot is due to be flying in to Silverstone but, he cannot make it so he briefs his no. 2 Torquil to do it. Torquil bowls up to the circuit, does everything by the book but Silverstone ATC say

SATC: What is your name?
Torquil: Torquil Proot.
SATC: Did you sign the school register when you came to the briefing?
Torquil: No, I didn't.
SATC: Well, you can't land here, go away.

Seriously, how would it work in practice?

Cheers
