If I had still been there, my attitude would be to ask TAG when he was just touching down.
The Farnborough Aero Club still exists and last I heard they had their own bowser as TAG do not normally supply AVGAS.
Having said that, there is an agreement between Blackbushe and Fairoaks that if the runway at one becomes unavailable, they can divert to the other; the pilot involved should have known this.
