So according to NATS-AIS the BHX runway is 3050m long, interestingly the MAN runways are the same length and easily handle A380s & B747s so check your imagination!
The key phrase in my earlier posting was "max take of weight" which, given DaveReidUK's subsequent posting suggests my imagination doesn't need so much checking. Must admit I overlooked that extra 50m though. Not bad considering the old brain cells are decaying faster than reproducing at my age!!!
