I'm surprised a Jaguar managed to take off from it considering it's only just over 12 miles long.Lancashire's newly built M55 used as makeshift jet runway in 1975

The longest runway in UK is at Heathrow, 2.5 miles or so.
I believe he had to take his run up under a bridge, certainly looks like it in the video.

Yes, it was a joke on the **** poor performance of the Jaguar needing a 12 mile runway having watched them limp into the air whilst F-16s are climbing straight up using a quarter of the same runway.
I was garrisoned at the barracks next to there in the 90s, its visited a lot. Lots of school trips etcBergen Belsen: Eighty years on, survivors and families remember camp's horrors

Ditto in Celle 93-96. So just down the road. So visted a few times.
Not arguing with you, didn't see the joke anyway
For info.
The Jaguar typically needed 580 m (1,900 ft) with typical tactical load.
The F16 needs 1000m minimum with any bomb load.
The two have completely different roles, the Jaguar is an attack aircraft more akin to the A10 whereas the F16 was designed as a fighter/multi role aircraft.
The last Jaguar built was in 1981 whereas F16s are still being built today with constant aero dynamic improvements and vastly more powerful engines so really they're chalk and cheese.

A colleague went to do some work there last week I told him it was a shithole he didn't believe me. Agreed when he came back.
