AFAIK the runway at Brooklands was 4380 feet long, and that is including the angled bit at the end. Without that added bit it was 3780 feet (about 1200 yards as Saint-ex mentioned) but by the time A4O-AB landed there, they could not touch down on the extreme threshold, so that probably accounts for a couple of hundred feet less as well.
