And as for the pilot who refuses to use Safetycom, the procedures in CAP 413 clearly make it a facility that is available rather than one that is mandatory - he/she is quite within their rights, if unhelpful and potentially foolhardy.
The strip concerned is within Lakenheaths MATZ. The other pilot (not me)feels it is safer to stay on their frequency rather than using Safetycom. So this boils down to which proceedure individuals feel is best but it is probably not foolhardy.
The original point was that we suggest using the name of the airfield at the beginning and the end of a radio call as sometimes it can be missed at the beginning. This is not outlined in CAP413 but maybe should be.
I'm not 100% sure, but believe it is the proceedure when using unicom in the US
