IRRC the Lightning (Leuchars) experimented with RS 2 (mounted) from the ORP.
RS 5 (mounted) was usually from the Q shed, and allowed for taxying to the other runway (Ummm).
RS 10 was held from the crew room, but did not involve running unless your oxygen mask tangled in the front wheel of the ‘Q’ bike. We had a Landover after that!

There was also an odd RS for ‘real’ – Coltishall had detached to Binbrook during European tensions. This was similar to RS2/5 but spaced out around the airfield. Also, the T birds could stand one pilot down for ‘lunch’ etc, and have single pilot ops if required.
