We also needed to know the take-off speed. Capt Hollingworth added: "It might take you somewhere around about a minute to get to the correct speed - again, around 150mph."
About a minute, eh? So, starting from rest as opposed to a roller, how long is he expecting a normal take off run to be?


26 miles long lol, still not enough to get a fully loaded Jag off though
I suspect that after 26 miles in reheat, the Jag would have burned off enough fuel to get off the ground.
