DD,
You forgot about departing off 06 threshold,Bristow ramp.Also Bolkow 105 doing circuits off the grass,in snow.Also 5 (that's right five)in VMC night circuits, I was a trainee and Radar trying to co-ordinate a visual through the middle of it. Oh you'll think of something.

One of the reasons we don't use 14 so much,is partially because it is shorter as you have to depart from A4.The other was that the L2 and 225s couldn't take it.So we have been informed.
Also 14 was only really useful to get one away between fixed wings,but with standard gaps it makes little difference.Unless you want to jump the Q of course.
I got taught a big lesson on vortex early on.Chinook (remember them) departing from W5 with a Loganair Twin Otter at 4 miles.This is legal even now.The Twotter Hit the vortex over the threshold and nearly crashed.The spacing was in excess of the vortex required for a light passing through the vortex of a 747.Phantom vortex.
