I have put a Duchess in and out of the same runway, does not mean i would want to do it with anything more than me on board and vapour for fuel. I also recall watching a warrior being pulled out of the hedge on that exact runway due to the pilot thinking they could get in and out of 'No problem'...........
the reason we read about so many people going through hedges is they were happy to ignore the POH.
I am the first to go for a bit of adventure but am against encouraging stupidity.
