Elvington is 2998m long not the 3000m specified. Apparently the foreman of the
contractor who built the runway needed a driveway at home, hence the missing
2m.

"Campbletown, Elvington, Bruntingthorpe, Stansted and probably others were
all built for the USAF at a length of 1000ft "
Seems a bit short to me.
Otherwise, I deeply regret your attempt to usurp my vaunted
position as master of such occurences. My solicitor will be in touch - or,
flintlocks at 30 paces, (or metrically 1000m).
