Skid Marks
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?

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.
