Why two patches either end? Is the idea to touch down on the Tarmac and roll out on the grass? Or isn't just a matter of the runway being started but not finished?
He could not get planning permission for a full tarmac runway so he placed the two hard ends to land the Citation, I believe it landed there once then the fraud squad caught up with him, but not before he had sold the house to a relative for a pound so they could not impound it.

I still remember him crashing the C340 while trying to land on someones drive way whilst arriving at a party, yes you read it correctly.

He finally went down for fraudulent loan applications for property developemnt but of course spent the money on his lavish live style, 1 x Citation, 1 x Hughes 500, 1 x Beech Duchess, 1 x Cessna 340 a personnel hangar at EGCC south side .
