Runway & Hardstand Use

1. There are 3 runways - the main one: 10-29 and two shorter ones: 15-33 & 05-23. What sort of distribution of use was there on these three?
2. Presuming the main runway was usually used, was normal take off & landing east to west (29) or the reverse (10)?
2. In regard to hardstands, did the same planes normally use the same hardstand day after day?
3. Were the hardstands marked and if so, where?
4. How were the planes moved to the runway before a mission and returned to the hardstands after? Was there someone who guided the pilot or was he just supposed to watch the other planes and know where to go?
