Devil Odd signals area
Had to post this... spotted over a well known midlands air museum... Not in the signals square, I wonder what this runway marking indicates?

You've cocked up the landing if you get that far down the runway and you're still flying?

Just a thought...

Doesn't it dicktate the landing direction? i.e. land in the direction of the shaft towards the cross-member

It's a safety reminder - always maintain firm hand on joystick in case of entering a dive.
