vanHorck,
especially not as there seemed to be ample time for a quiet word.
I would be interested to hear how you know that. How can you possibly know how busy Ops were at that particular time. Were you there?
As a regular visitor I can tell you that the place is always busy at w/e, even in Winter. The young team who run it are constantly coming up with ways of improving it. Maybe they could increase the landing fee and employ a child warden to be ready "with a quiet word".
