I posted this on the Questions forum and received four amusing but probably incorrect replies:
The recent posting of Mount Pleasant in the "What Aerodrome" thread showed that the runway has no Touch Down Zone markings. A quick bit of Googling confirmed that UK military runways do not have these markings, but French, German, Canadian and US military runways do.
Does anyone know the reason for this and what impact that has on operations for military and civil aircraft?
I'm somewhat surprised that I had never noticed this before, since I've flown out of nine RAF airfields
So I'm posting here in anticipation of more banter and possibly finding out the correct answer
