Four. An instructor with student. Crossed from the deadside to downwind at the runway mid-point. I was on the downwind leg and a collision course. Avoiding action taken and words were said after parking up next to him.
I didn't bawl him out as he looked a bit shaken, and young enough to start crying.


Close call when descending on base leg. Air ambulance on a shout. Not on our frequency.


Left turn on climb out. Met a Corporate twin on right base, wrong runway. Violent manoeuvre to avoid collision. She was very apologetic, and very beautiful. I forgave her.


At about 200ft on climb-out. American fast-jet pilot went under me at full chat down the reciprocal. I'm sure it would have been impressive if only he'd done it at the airfield he was talking to. The airshow crowds must have thought he was the ultimate Stealth. Invisible and silent.
