Wasn't there a very well publicised CAA prosecution some years ago where the pilot was doing just what abdg suggested at an unlicensed strip but someone with a chip on his shoulder was at or near the threshold and claimed he'd had his life in danger. The pilot indeed tried to claim "normal aviation practice" for his go around but the law felt otherwise and he was "done" somewhat brutally iirc.
The moral seemed to be if you go below 500ft on approach to a farm strip you must land or crash, a g/a is not a legal option.
Anyone remember the details with more accuracy? Must have been '80s.
