There was a lead off just short of the taxiway intersection on to the grass. Runways were 26 and 08 (7054 feet) as now, with 18/36 grass (2800 feet) and 06/24 grass (2000 feet)
My memory is fading fast but I think I recall one major taxiway from the apron out to the runway almost at the mid point and nearly at a right angle, up past the spotters area in the corner on your left when taxying out?
I think ??
Be lucky
