Thing, just drawn this and agree the one on 1 mile final should be C152(2)

Somewhere on this thread (sorry, if I retread all of it I will lose the will to live) I'm sure I've read a suggestion that if you are behind someone who flies a bomber circuit then the answer is a radio call 'GABCD has left the circuit, GDEFG now number 2'

This scenario proves the problem of such a testosterone fuelled approach.

Whether C152-1 did what he (probably was a he) did out of frustration, being behind schedule or whatever, surely it's better to be patient, later and alive ? And wouldn't this have led to a great deal of inconvenient paperwork ? I'm guessing that it didn't happen because he wasn't aware of PA28.

Did PA28 extend final because of slow approach speed of C152(2) compared to PA28 (never flown a PA28 so don't know what it approaches at)

The PA28 orbit (unless under ATC instruction) was dangerous for all the reasons mentioned. Go around would have been the safer option

I agree with MJ that heads should be knocked together, but only when safely in the ground

Anyway, what's the hurry ? We spend most of our lives on the ground, we learned to fly to leave it so why rush to get back down
