I was taught never to transmit (after clearing it to land/roll/overshoot) when an aircraft was on finals,
I don't remember you being taught that, was that between Tea and Glim laying?
......the last thing a pilot needs in the last few hundred feet is someone babbling in his ear........I don't get it at RAF airfields but civvy FISO and A/G radio operators don't seem to have the same consideration.
Err.. I fly at a fairly busy airport, there is invariably someone "babbling" in my ear on final. Usually others joining, making position reporting calls or even just departing ( commercial) aircraft obtaining departure clearances whilst sitting at the hold. Non of this detracts from my ability to fly the aircraft and focus on the task at hand. ATC don't have to be talking to you for there to be RT chat in your ear. I find it useful to listen to it whilst still focusing on the task at hand. It helps with situational awareness.
Perhaps the reason you don't get it at
your RAF Airfield is that your balsa wood bomber has a VHF box and the military toys all have UHF boxes.
