There were usually three at least to pick from, but that became the main runway if it was 3,000' before, it was 6,000' or even 7,500' after. The V-Bomber stations had theirs' extended to 9,000'. All of this usually meant claiming more farmland. The main runway at Scampton required the A15 to be routed around it from its original north/south straight line, hence the bulge. But I'm not revealing anything new.
