'Owly' you may want to amend yr comments there buddy, they are completely incorrect. The machine in question made an incorrect App to RWY 35 @EN, not 26 & it never landed so there was no 'strip out' of anything for a T/off. The report you linked shows this.
Just as a side note the then American President LBJ visioned Melbourne before Tullamarine Airport was opened (1970) back in the Mid 60's & Airforce one a B707 back then landed on Rwy 26 I believe causing some damage to the rwy pavement, I think at the time it was the largest A/C to have had arrived at EN.
