Gatwick's runways

By goodness given the lenght of 07 at Gatwick it would have to be a very poorly executed go around - unless of course you were intending to land very looooooong.
Fuji old chap,

Gatwick's runways are 08R/26L and 08L/26R. I din't think it's due to change to 07L or 07R for some years yet...

FYFI 08R/26L is the main instrument runway, 08L/26R is the so-called 'Northern' runway and is visual only. It may only be brought into use when the main runway is unavailable, usually due to maintenance at night. Don't ask to use it just 'cos you're visual!
