Sorry I havn't answered anyone's responses in the last few days, been away, but very quickly....
Having read all the comments - CM, full ATZ service - quite a busy airport really - no-one would like to hear what I would have crashed on if we had made contact - ( or perhaps they should? - another subject! ), I think, having considered the comments, the conflicting a/c was not exactly where he reported. Had he been, a left orbit would not have left him turning on downwind oposite.
At the time of posting I was probably just about to hang anyone ( it was not a pleasant experience ), I think CM made the best point, and that really it was just an error of airmanship, but it has made me read up on some issues I wasn't clear on - must be of some good! It also made me all too aware that two aircraft in oposing directions come together VERY quickly!
Regards
LF
ps - this may be a very silly question ( but I really dont know ), should this situation have been reported to anyone?
