Well I was not being literal about the wind direction change jibe , I was using that as a mythical reason to explain the apparent change in the of the takeoff/landing pattern that completely reversed between me taking off and the subsequent landing.

The near miss report may have gone something like this…..

I was using the QMB scramble option, I was in a Ju88A4 with no wingman but had a single Do217 assigned as a friendly. I took off to what I think was the west (out to sea) then turned to port, the Dornier just wandered of out over the sea and I had head turn back towards him and ask him to rejoin. I then practiced formatting with the Do217 for 15 to 20 minutes then told him to dump his bombs and head for home, I continued flying in line astern until I visually picked up the field. At this point I over took the Dornier and after which started my decent while also calling for landing clearance. With this granted I then set up for a westerly approach via a left handed circuit.

While on the downwind leg of my circuit I heard the Dornier make his call for landing clearance, as I was setting up for my crosswind, I do not recall hearing the tower’s response. On final at some 10-20 metres and just about to start my flare I noticed that the Dornier with gear extended was on finals from the opposite direction estimated to still be above 100m or so. I decided to continue with the flare and braked as heavily as I dared on the roll out until I could safely exit the runway for a bumpy ride across the median to the parallel taxi-way. The Dornier passed in the opposite direction some 5 to 10 seconds later.

…..additional Ideas:

Engine Temperature on the Speed Bar
It would be nice if the speed bar could also include the engine temperature, nicer still if said temperature could be colour coded green = normal, yellow = approaching overheat and red = overheating

Revised Map Board Graphic
Could the graphic for the border on the in-flight map be made to look a little less in your face, like a maybe a folded map or better still (IMO) be discarded with altogether?

Very good ideas. It would be nice to have on the map the direction of the runway(just has you sugested). Many times, when landing on other airfild diferent from the take-of place, i find myself trying to figure the runway position, and have to go aroud many times, a loss of time!
