I'll probably get shot down.Again!
Anyway in Hong Kong when CLK opened on single runway it was called 25L/07R.The North runway was still under construction,but it had 25R/07L and big X painted on it.We used full runway designators because it was a new airport, strange for everyone and that was what the runway was called.Despite having red stop bars, and a closed runway it didn't stop Korean getting lost and taxiing on 25R
.Golden Plonker Towbar Award.There was no ILS radiating on 25R/07L but a hell of a lot of dumper trucks.Nasty if you hit them.
Once the North Runway was opened we were allowed to do sideslips on to the other runway,if there was a problem.I don't know Manc but guess that option might be available.Then you'd have to get the L or R crystal clear.
