Thanks Hawker and Pitts for your responses.
Again, down to airmanship and mitigation of risks
That was my point really. Obviously those who bring jets into EGLK regularly have demonstrated these qualities, whilst it's the job of AAIB to understand why the pilot in this case didn't.
What a pity that in 1960 the UK Govt decided that Blackbushe wasn't going to be London's second Airport (in favour of Gatwick) and dug up a third of what is today's runway 25/07. It's actually in a much better place for an airfield than EGLF, ironically.
