I used to take off in a heavy VC10 from this runway over the Lake late at night with sweltering temperatures. The runway runs quite a way out into the lake, and is very low. It was not unusual to be alarmed after lift off to find you had stopped climbing- the temperature inversion could be very pronounced. And that in an overpowered VC10! Sometimes it was almost as if you had run off the end to get airborne, and initial climb performance was frightening.
You don't EVER want to go down in that lake! Full of Bilharzia- a minute water borne snail that gravitates through the skin and does something awful to you. Thankfully I can't remember and have no wish to know!
