Duxford's Runway Length

Question: what is the physical lenght of Duxford’s runway? I understand that the published lenght is 4,931ft, yet the following details are also given:

RWY 06 LDA 1222m TORA 1222m
RWY 24 LDA 1222m TORA 1319m

Thanks for that. I was trying to figure out how a Meteor can land in such a short distance.

I don’t know where you got your figures from

The published distances (From the AIP) are

06 LDA 1222 TORA 1222
24 LDA 1219 TORA 1319

The actual paved length is 1503 metres (4931 feet approx)

What may be confusing you is the displaced threshold on 24, in place so that landing traffic doesn’t cross the M11 at juggernaut height.
