P.S. Pooleys clearly states "Simultaneous runway operations not authorised". AIP says similar. Someone better tell Duxford that, because when I asked on final which runway was in use I was told "either, your discresion", very abruptly.
Simultaneous operations means two acft at the same time. If you were no. 1 and the only one then clearly the option was yours to make, at your
discretion.
As for the 'ATCO' in the tower, he was a FISO. You need to understand the difference.
