Moral of the story, don't post after night shift when you might 'word' things incorrectly.

Now, on to this incident, obviously the Dash should have given way to the lighty, and the lighty should not have landed with the Dash on the runway from Hempy's common-sense POV (which obviously I don't disagree with!). Until we know who said what and who saw what, we can't know who was in the right or wrong.
Agreed.

You said the aircraft on the runway had right of way. That's wrong. A landing aircraft has right of way.
Agreed - up to the point where if a landing aircraft knowingly lands on an occupied runway, which then opens a can of worms for prosecution based on rules surrounding recklessness and creating collision risks (or rather, not taking appropriate action to avoid).

Back to bed...
