Looking at that list some very tasty machinery and loads of AeroStars have been there even though the runway is shorter than Denham at 650 M
Too me that Highlights the fact that a number of considerations need to be taken into account when using length limited runways.
Is the runway wet or dry!
how much standing water or ice?
what is the wind doing?
What is your loading like?
what is the temp like (30 degree in summer?)
In the event of an engine or other problem on takeoff can you stop or are you playing Russian Roulette?

As stated I have taken a Citation into Thruxton but with minimal fuel and no PAX so I stress the importance of checking the manual for each situation
