Looking at Airliners.net I came across this photo of Avedore, Copenhagen, Denmark. Are there any other runways like this??

There are several strips in the UK with doglegs- have a look in Lockyers Farm Strips guide - there are a couple in there.

Just had a quick look in an old copy....

...Manor Farm (6 miles W of salisbury)"There is a slight bend in the runway"

Remember seeing on the Alaska DOT airfields reference website there are a couple with quite distinct doglegs...(plus a few that barely qualify even as rough strips!)

See my Hampshire,Dorset,Devon,IOW Airfields sites..

Must require a bit of rudder work!

I thought this strip looked familiar...vid clip of Tigger Moth approach into Avedore :D
If I had a Tiger,i think I would find somewhere else to land...even the approach/undershoot is bad

Good God!! Must take some concentration when you see the centre-line going round a corner! Cross-winds must be interesting......
