My 2 previous posts on this subject have disappeared so perhaps this one might remain and be commented upon. I find it odd that a military airbase isn't aware of the traffic making an approach to land there especially if it is a civilian aircraft. In these days of heightened security surely someone should have noticed; or is this a case of being asleep at the desk!
