In his excellent book 'The Quick & The Dead' Bill Waterton (one time Gloster chief test pilot) describes flying newly-manufacured Javelins from the short runway at Brockworth factory the few miles to Moreton Valence.

That book is really good read - long out of print, but worth digging up a copy if you can.
