Hi Jenkins
No. Turned on the strip ok.
The narrow one was Barbuda. Just 18 inches outside each mainwheel and a deep shoulder to the runway. Open the back door/ and talk sweetly to the loadmaster. Then, as you know, it was all or nothing reverse to return to the threshold for t/o. Runway was long for us -cannot remember exactly - maybe 2500ft but with the narrow width that produced a very odd approach feeling much higher than we really were. B
