DM stating the pilot had to avoid a microlight on final approach which caused him to try and land too far up the runway.

Notice that the AAIB report doesn't say how significant a part that was. Surely, it could all be down to the microlight pilot?

Doesn't explain why he chose not to go around though?

You would have thought a billionaire family who have lost several family members to private jet crashes would stipulate a higher quality of operation.

Why?
(I believe) that the aircraft had operated from Blackbushe previously without incident.

Why would you spend additional landing fees on using an airport with a longer runway if you did not need to, just because you could afford to?
