Jaguar Motorway "operations"

In '73/'74 a Jaguar operated by BAe as part of the flight test programme at Warton did make one test landing/takeoff from an un-opened stretch of motorway from Preston to Blackpool (M56?). It was to demonstrate the T/O landing capability on "unusual" runways. Didn't they opearte a Jag from the grass at Farnboro' in the same period?
