If you want to see a hump our nearest neighbours are expert at including them in runway design. Manchester(23R touchdown zone), Leeds (32 TDZ)and Bristol(09TDZ) being notably heart-stopping examples. In fact, taking off on 23R at Manchester involves seeing only the first one third of the runway. HMS Leeds Bradford is character building whether taking off or landing.
I do admit to unintentionally trying to flatten runway humps during my early days in the right seat. In fact from time to time it still happens, despite my best efforts.
Closer to home, Monsignor Horan has a lot to answer for regarding the downhill trajectory of Knock's westerly landing configuration. The "Knock Special" toasted sandwich available to order for flight crew through the control tower on final approach only designed to distract from the buckets of power required to get back up the hill after landing.
In these days of uncertainty for aviation workers you can only hope to get the chance to visit these often maligned locations again.

Much easier for those reading this site on a phone to follow (particularly if they are not on twitter).For now, everything hangs on implementation of the CoDF report.

I wonder would they look to subdued Roundels and fin flash at a later stage?
Having a roundel with a big white bit negates the sneakyness a bit. Could do the orange and green roundel as well, I think they used to have one on the Lysanders back in "th'mergency".Last edited by Herald; 16 September 2020, 20:21.
