Elstree - Ugh!
Hi AC-DC,
I have to agree with Capt AirProx,
I visited Elstree last year - went off on a local flight and despite obeying Mr Nasty's ATC instructions (despite AFISO status) was overtaken on finals by some idiot in a C172 - flaps up and going for it (you know - the type who drives 2ft from the rear bumper of a driving school car) causing me to go around.
Coincidentally - on the climb out there was apparently 2 aircaft on finals under full ATC instruction(!) on finals - one above the other. They nearly collided and 1 reported an airmiss over the radio after arranging with the other pilot to 'sort it out on the ground'.
Suitably impressed, we went to lunch only to find that some mindless plankton had pebbledashed my new aircraft - I mean - a really good job. Towbar? Why bother! Every man for himself here.
Keep your gold Rolexes and Sovereign rings.
If it is Elstree or worms - pass the brown sauce..
