When the British Grande Prix moved to Siverstone there was only one airstrip avalable on the North Side. I came round onto finals and was cleared to continue as No 4. In front of me was a a BA Westland 30 and in front of him was a Hughes 500. The 500 did not understand what bay he was to land at so he stopped at about 100 ft. whilst he found out.
"FOR CHRIST'S SAKE KEEP GOING. DON'T HANG ABOUT THERE."
I think the W30 pilot was worried about whether he could stay in the air behind him.
