Burscough HMS Ringtail was also built for the FAA with four runways. It was used for working up naval air squadrons so the runways were only 30yds wide to simulate a carrier deck and with 8 possible take off/landing directions there was always one close to into wind. RAF stations were built with 50yd wide runways.
