Yes the runway is shorter at NWI, one day we get the extension
Hope that clears up the story
Well I am sorry but is does not.
Your synopsis above is juvenile to put it mildly.
Damp runways do not prevent a landing.
Take a look at the rain on this landing at Warsaw.
If the aircraft had a serious issue that required diversion this will be an item in the forthcoming monthly AAIB monthly bulletins.

In short more amunition to suggest Norwich Airport should be Alan Partridge International. The only UK airport where aircraft are grounded for a "damp" runway.
