18m x 1036m makes it roughly two-fifths (40%) of the width and length of a typical provincial airport runway, such as Turnhouse's 06/24 (46m x 2556m).

If I may raise a point of order on a very serious thread, and whilst I readily accept the technical point regarding runway length and width, Turnhouse should not be described as a provincial airport, since it serves the capital of Scotland, by definition the very antithesis of a province.

Glasgow on the other hand.....
