From memory the F27 was certified for an 18 metre runway width contained within a 90 metre strip width. One or two of the AN F27 Captains queried the
suitability and width of the temporary runway and were told the runway met the requirements as it was 18 metres wide with a gravel surface on the central 15 metres.

Ps. Did anyone operate the F27 or F50 to Rupert Murdoch's farm paddock which was referred to as Rupes Place.

Ps. Seeing a B757-200 on the 30 metre runway at AYQ was interesting !.
