Preparations did not begin until the winter of 1939-1940 and were not completed until the summer of 1941 owing to the decision to put down hard runways before the station was opened and these were then extended: the main 14-32 at 2,000 yards and subsidiaries 02-20 to 1,400 yards and 08-26 to 1,600 yards.
