There was an event recently in the North-West of the UK. A Cirrus owner/pilot (allegedly sterotypically considered by some as the aeronautical equivelant of a BMW car owner) carried out an impecable circuit and landed. When requesting taxi instructions no-one answered. He did enjoy the attention of the rapidly inbound military escort. After being advised that he had arrived unannounced and ruined SATCO's day at RAF Valley, he was rumoured to have commented:

'I thought it was strange having all these fast jets at Caernarfon'.
