The report says the runway has been levelled. Does that mean the hump has been removed?

At 9000ft long, 98 years old, and with the last major repairs carried out in the 1990's resurfacing the old runway had not been an option. It's hoped the new strip will last 25 years without any need for further major upgrades.
So they had a concrete runway then...... :Oops: Just thinking of WW1 era aircraft using concrete!

Great news at last. Waddington open fully again, hope all the old and new customers flood back to wave John. Seems a visit is in order soon.
