Did anyone see this?:
Runway in bits as plane takes off near Wolverhampton - BBC News (http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/av/uk-england-birmingham-39778809/runway-torn-up-as-plane-takes-off)
Marvellous demonstration of how to use a Vampire to remove a runway's top surface!

I am sure a couple of chancers in a white transit can repair that for a few quid.

Maybe they laid it !!!!!

If the Vampire trashed the runway on its departure, then where did the Vampire land ?

Not sure where the Vampire landed ,but Halfpenny Green has a second runway,apparently.
