Yesterday I flew with my wife to a nearby airfield for lunch. I did it all by the book. OHJ with a deadside descent. When I called 'Descending deadside' there was one aircraft climbing away, one touching down on a touch and go and one turning final. I was visual with the first two.
On turning right, and calling crosswind, I was visual with the first two aircraft climbing away on the runway heading as I crossed the upwind numbers.
The third aircraft then announced that he was making an early turn onto downwind!
I shot a look at my other half who'd already sussed that something was amiss and she said "I've got him, directly below us, same track".
As I went for the throttle to climb out of circuit height, he announced that he was remaining 'low level'. I carried on to a wide downwind and gave him plenty of room.
This was a based aircraft used for training, as was the aircraft in a previous incident at the same airfield. This one came off the deadside at the midpoint of the runway, straight at me when I was downwind.
I have the times and call signs but I'll keep them to myself. I will say however, that the airfield was Sherburn.
I'll keep going there, as their steak pie is almost worth dying for.
