Sock it to them SB!

I once fuelled at a southern airfield (SE to be precise, something to do with crops) where once I had returned from paying for the fuel, a Yak (aircraft, rather than mammal) had parked quite close and the Yak driver gone orf.

I recce'd the area on foot, planned a suitable escape route and moved away with caution and in safety to a parking area.

An off duty "CAA inspector" (are they ever off duty??) - or at least that's how he introduced himself - then approached me as I was shutting down in gusty conditions and walked under the disc to tell me he thought I was too close to the Yak.

Perhaps a "gust from God" could have resulted in him becoming a convertable too??
