If there was "hardly anyone about and zero wind with the sun very awkward on the runway in use" maybe the Cub (or whatever it was) pilot had the wit to use a runway that wasn't "very awkward with the sun". Why do so many UK pilot follow each other around like sheep, instead of thinking? Why not use a runway that wasn't tricky because of where the sun was? I'm sure we've all experienced that horrible squinting into a glaring sun that's right at the end of the runway through 30-year old glazed and scratched Perspex. Land on another runway - no bother.
Shame that scenario didn't occur to the 16,000-hour pilot, who was so keen to file a complaint.
