All the airfields mentioned by Conan are in fact 'Standard Nato' 10,000ft plus or minus a few feet, with the exception of Heathrow whose runways are 12,802ft and 12,008ft; Gatwick is next with 10,879ft; these are total paved lengths not LDAs by the way. Boscombe is slightly longer than Brize/Fairford but shorter than Gatwick.
