Left circuits on 06 were interesting. Left base would cross through the final app for 08 and then final would cross over the runway again. Again, if you trusted the person then you could ask the light aircraft to remain north of the 08 approach.
All good fun. Wouldn't get away with it now!
Statute of limitations applies. ;-)
Va. Similarly you may remember the use of 'in the event of a go-around, remain north of the main' for landers on 18 with the main active. These days that would definately result in a 'tea with no biscuits' visit to an appropriate authority figure!
