I wasn't sure whether to post this as I thought this thread would close.
Last Sunday I was on final in the Cub and noticed a tractor ploughing on the field adjacent to the runway threshold, I observed for a little and reckoned I would probably clear him as he would have passed across my path,approaching closer I realised I might hit him so applied power ,climbed a little and landed further down the strip.
On my landing run I called another aircraft on downwind to warn him of the situation.
Last year I had a similar happening and chose to go around.
The point of this post is that-
1-Flying in the farmland areas of E. Anglia we are often using strips/runways adjacent to farming operations.
2-I did not have an accident because I could see the working farm machinery on approach.
If I had been flying an aircraft with poor forward visibilty then the outcome could ave been very different.
Accidents happen ,despite our best intentions and they are not always automatically caused by negligence on the pilots behalf.
The report said it was a tragic accident without blame to either pilot
