I knew about the large military airfields at the North end of the island, with their multiple runways, so mentioning a single runway must have been a clue that nvubu pounced on.
The lack of images is wierd. I did exactly as I had done before and linked to images in my dropbox, so it appears to be a browser issue.
Next time I will try uploding to a PPRuNe album and linking there.
