Driver fined for runway drama

[Flying_Frisbee]

A BARGAIN-HUNTER drove on to a airfield runway by mistake as he searched for a car boot sale - and refused to leave as a plane attempted to land.
Pilot Thomas Boyle was forced to radio for help after spotting John Kelly standing in the middle of Errol Airfield in Perthshire.
Skydiving crews rushed on to the runway to remove Kelly. But he refused to leave and had to be bundled into a van and taken away so the plane could land.

I wonder what this "Sestina" looks like?

I love it when the press get all "technical." Next there will have been 50 pax onboard too, sestina's are quite big!

Security

Where is airfield security when you need them.

It cannot be hanging out of a doorway having a quite smoke??

With a car boot to have a wander round in the next field? It probably wasn't even on the premises...
