Re: RAF grass runways

It also meant that 2 squadrons could take off - or land, for that matter - at the same time in different directions!!

Re: RAF grass runways

Not really - aircraft will land and take-off into wind, normally.

Yes, there are cases of it happening on airfields with a rise in the middle so that one unit can't see what the other is doing.
