Ignore Ratty, Jacko, he's only young and will learn.

Shawbury was certainly a dispersal airfield, which I understand was the reason for the southern runway extension - south of the present lazy lane. That was definitely the way it was put in the Staish's presentation the last time I heard it.

It also required a new (the present) ATC Tower, as the old one (the present Brown House) couldn't see the new threshold of the northerly runway.....
