Flew in to a Military & Civil Air Safety day at RAF Odiham a couple of years ago in the Luscombe.

Conscious of being watched I got the approach speed nailed perfectly, beautiful landing right on the numbers and stopped with almost no need to backtrack.

"G-BTCH am I OK to backtrack"
"Negative, proceed to the end of the runway and exit left, expedite"

This runway's a mile long! I should have taken off and landed again.
