Normal landing on 25(now 24) at Farnborough. The narrow strip of concrete underneath widened out to full runway width just right of shot and the threshold was roughly at the intersection with the short runway (30 in those days; changed to 29 in about '76).
In my 28 years working in the 'old' tower from where this was taken(we moved to the present tower in late 2002), I saw the same aspect with many different types from the BD 5J to the Antonov 225.(You could almost lean off the side of the balcony and touch the 225's wingtip - at least that's what it felt like!)
