I remember landing in a non-radio Auster on Runway 06 and coming to a halt well before the first taxiway. I turned off the runway and then wondered what would happen if I had met a Viscount or something taxiing for take-off in the opposite direction. Therefore I decided to taxi back onto the main runway with the intention of taxiing as far as the 33/15 intersection and then turning off, only to suddenly find a Bristol Freighter on short final. I then quickly turned off again and stuck to my original plan and luckily didn’t meet anything coming the other way!
