My point though is that I assume both aircraft must have been under some sort of control: who then directed two aircraft to simultaneously use the same runway for different purposes, therefore relying on uncommanded and last minute evasive action on the part of one of them to avoid a collision? It seems like taking an awful lot for granted. Or were they just 'I Follow Roads'?
It is an uncontrolled airfield therefore the separation of aircraft is the respective pilot in command's responsibility.
