Low F16 on Finals at Waddington Airshow
You guys obviously haven't seen videos of 747s landing at St Maarten if you think that was dicy.
At Halton in the mid 60s, people often used to park their cars in the undershoot of runway 02 when we were gliding. I have a memory of one approach I made in a Sedburgh where there were children sitting on the roof of a car and a man was snatching them off the roof as I passed over when landing. Some of the other guys would stuff the nose down for excess speed and descend low over the field across the road from the airfield, then pull up over the road to land. Funny how the local bus company would always switch to single deck buses in summer but would run double deckers for the rest of the year.

chevvron, as a Chesham local, do you remember the fatal accident at Bovingdon when an aircraft hit the Bovingdon-Chesham 316 bus at the 04 threshold? Traffic lights were installed after that, and I believe London Country switched to GS single-deckers. I remember seeing the aftermath but don't know what type of aircraft was involved. The bus might have been an RLH.
.
An RLH is the 'low' double decker isn't it? As far as I'm aware, they were used mainly for the 336 Chesham - Watford service via Amersham.
I only remember travelling to my aunt's place (originally Bourne End, later Boxmoor) in single deck London Transport (green) buses or Rover coaches, I don't recall double deckers on this route.

However, start with the Public Order Act 1986, the RTA Acts (various), and Criminal Justice Act 1967.
I used to be quite involved in vehicular Rights of Way issues but moved out of the UK 8 years ago, so have not bothered updating my brain over these things.
Bottom line, if Plod wants you moved on or stopped, he'll find some law which gives him the excuse.

This sort of action leads to a invite to a no tea no biccies interview. as would trying to move the folk in the video, might get away with it for one or two, but that number would quickly lead to official action against any officer involved and 15 minutes of fame on Youtube

I'll just quote myself from page 1 of this thread.
And actually the posters further up were right - if a constable feels that they need you to do something then there is usually a law that allows them to do it. If there's a law that allows them to do it then they wont be losing their job.
And to the person above commenting on the overzealous use of S44 terrorism act against photographers - it didnt result in 'hats on no biccies' interviews it actually resulted in Parliament saying "it was too wide ranging" and they revoked it and brought in an amended version which tightened up the circumstances in which it could be used
To start with the constable could start with simply ask them to move off the centreline using powers of persuasion (a cop can ask you to do pretty much anything they like without needing a legal power as you can choose to comply or refuse)
But if you're looking for offences or legislative powers then you can start with Actions endangering safety of aircraft (under ANO) for one (approach surface infringement which is a safety specification). Constables have power to use reasonable force to prevent the offence (i.e. move the people on)
For anyone between the hedgeline and the field boundary then they're on the highway (as the legal highway includes footpaths and verges) and must obey the directions of a constable to proceed in a particular direction.
