Some years ago, I remember starting my T/O run in a 152 at the Clacton strip and on cresting one of the undulations that exist, suddenly realised that there was a bloke walking a dog right in front of me. Any sensible person seeing something fairly large and metal with a 3 foot mincing machine in front would have moved out of the way asap. This guy just stood and stared. I managed to get airborne a bit earlier than I had planned and flew right over him. From memory, I believe that there is a footpath across it (although I am willing to be corrected). Is the footpath still there or was it a figment of my imagination ? and . . .of course, who had right of way, me or him ??
