Skid Marks

[Dogma]

Hi Learned Tech Types

Have you noticed the dramatic skid marks of a 320 / 737 style single bogie at the stop end of 08R at LGW (exit B / Alpha) Is this easy to generate this type of swerving tire track?

PS Has anyone else noticed how greasy and slick Gatwick is after some light rain?

[Cough]

I've always reckoned it was the fire service, after hours....

If they start on center line and move towards the edge away from the end of the runway, ie a 26L departure, they were probably made by a split engine power exceeding the nose wheel's side load ability. LHR 27R has two long, and impressive, departure skids.
