I had sort of the same issue about 25 years ago when I landed on a temporarily closed airfield with a Cessna (some RC contest that happens once a year). Yes I was unlucky to nail that exact day of the year (0.27% chance) and yes I did not read the NOTAM.

However, somehow the oil pressure light had come on and I was "forced" to land at nearest suitable field.........

Nothing came of it except I got a letter from CAA asking the reason why and in the end concluded that I should take more caution. No fines and nothing else.
