Random UAS Stude: precisely!

In fact I had called d/wind and was just about to turn base, speaking to my mate at Wyton who was manning A/G radio that day, him wondering why he hadn't sighted me... while I was wondering a) why the railway line I was crossing was not shown on my map ("useless map" I irrationally decided !) and b) why there were so many (like 10,000!) cars parked at the upwind end of the runway!

So I called Wyton and said "please confirm there are a large number of vehicles a the end of the runway..!?"

Reply: "No you nonce! You're at the wrong field!"

D'oh!!!!!

Andy :ooh
