The runway at Brockworth is rapidly becoming a business park put is still just visible...my best guess would be that it's about 800 yards long. Must have been a short but interesting flight. Can anybody confirm this??

The excellent book 'The Quick and the Dead' by former Gloster chief test pilot Bill Waterton confirms that he flew new Javs from the very short runway at the Brockworth factory to Moreton Valence (now part of the M5).
