A landing clearance from an AFIS? I think the phrase you are looking for is "Land at your discretion"
Exactly which is what I did. I waited until I had passed the previous a/c that had vacated, and both runway's (treated as one at Duxford) were clear and so landed.

What would have been the point in going back into an over crowded circuit with a clear runway ahead ? Even the AFIS guy realised that - he just told us to vacate and where to park as soon as he could.

As pilots we are expected to make decisions - personally I think in the circumstances I made the right one (and so did my fellow pilot passenger - and other fellow pilots who had landed about 5 mins before) although I'm sure others on here will disagree.
