mmmm .... if the individual is who I think it is, then I had some 'experience' of him providing guest a/g radio service at a certain Scottish airfield several years ago.
Despite it being a/g I seem to remember he was directing aircraft and getting somewhat upset at anyone who did their own thing without his clearance.
I wasn’t bollocked but got a sarcastic remark on departure. It was my first time on grass in this particular type, which was rather underpowered and had a propensity to use quite a bit of runway. Therefore I back tracked, turned and started the takeoff run without a full stop line up. Can’t quite remember what was said, but it was something along the lines of 'feel free to takeoff from my airfield whenever you like'. Not exactly what was needed when I had a high workload and was somewhat tense.
A complaint was lodged with the Manager with overall responsibility. No idea what happened as shortly thereafter he was sent to Coventry 
I believe.
