C'mon, I have visited Leics about once or twice a year over the past three years and have nearly always departed Rwy 10.
Our moaning friend says he backtracked......20m to avoid departing with usable Rwy behind.
Take a closer look - the actual available Rwy from the holding point requires somewhere akin to > 250m backtrack to make full use of the licensed paved length.
