Well FFF,
I think your last Para says it all - doesn't it. It tells me that they obviously have a problem with the behaviour of some of their aeronautical brethren - perhaps "antics" would be a better description!

A disused part of an airfield is just that - I admit that I sometimes have difficulties with my mother tongue, regardless of accent, however, "disused" - suggests to me that I keep off that surface.

I see your point in mentioning it. However, despite calling the said frequency, no other aircraft was using it for any call let alone a standard one, i.e. a base leg or final call hence I landed short of aforementioned "disused" part, did 180 and reported backtracking.......then Mr. "I am" announced his prescence.

I'll leave it at that
