Strange G.A. Practices!

I flew into a small airfield (anonymous for now) not that long ago, having departed from one controlled by NATS.

The destination strip has a metalled runway, with a single taxiway exit at the easterly end leading to the ramp.

Whilst on short finals another aircraft flew at 90 deg across the runway at < 50.ft

I landed in a westerly direction with backtracking to vacate being the only option. I called G-***** backtracking and was then taken aback - putting it mildly, to see this other aircraft on a very tight base leg and calling telling me not to backtrack as he was landing

Now what would you do

Tell you what I did later

d_b - hope to hear your learned opinion
