My understanding too. The dual carriageway splits there and the southbound side is pretty level and flat whilst the northbound side is anything but level. There are also 'conveniently located crossovers for traffic beyond each end of the runway/MOS. I am less convinced by the access arrangements for Woolfox Lodge and there is probably going to have to be some tree felling too.
Good job we retained the Jaguars!
Edited to add:
When Scampton is fully closed, the NE end of the runway will surely be chopped up and the A15 reinstated. This will be a nice straight bit that could be used as a MOS/Runway too!
