Virgin:
Terribly sorry if I seemed frightfully pompous to you old bean. But if I interpret Tom the Tenor and E Cam's posts correctly then they both appear to condone such behaviour.
I have personally been involved in an aircraft coming through the tower where I was working (in adition to numerous 'incidents' in my 28 years in ATC) and it caused me Post Traumatic Stress Disorder involving nightmares for about 12 years afterwards, as well as physical damage. Not an experience I can recommend.
Pip pip old fruit!
