Well, there was nowhere to go - the grass was taller than I am used to seeing on an airfield with a long grass policy (i.e. to deter birds) in fact it was tall enough to conceal a Pelican!

I could not take refuge up at the far "stop end" as I had already done a 180 and was not going to turn my back on this n*****r. I have learned never to turn my back on an aeroplane in motion or racing car - do so at your peril.

His only distress seemed to be the one he was trying to inflict upon me basically the type of aviator one is best keeping well clear of.

I am well used to hearing "land after" clearances either directed at me or following aircraft - no problem. ATC MATS Pt. 1 clearly defines when this may be used in U.K. - for an a/c to assume a land after does not, however, work with an a/c backtracking the "active! - oh no!
