Mr Cross, Sir
assuming this is a fair account of what happened
Are you suggesting for a single nano-second, Sir, that my account could in some way be less than 100% fair?
Regards
Andy
P.S. This posting is an attempt, albeit probably a poor attempt, at humour
P.P.S Knobbygb, I had a similar thing happen to me when I asked which runway. I declared my intention clearly to use the asphalt to avoid any miss-understandings. The chap behind me was close(ish) and decided to use the grass and I said I would hold short when exiting the ashphalt for him to land but was informed this was not permissable due to the combined nature of the r/w. Like you I am low hours (100 odd) and I think this posting probably represents us new pilots on a learning curve.
