This is RAF Gan in the Indian Ocean; it was a stopping off point for refuelling while travelling to the Far East and returning to the UK. As you can see the island is so small that the runway covers the full length of the island. As soon as the plain lands, the pilot turn the engines onto reverse and applies the brakes, to stop the plane running into the sea. The take off is just as bad; the pilot revs the engine at full speed, which vibrates the whole plane. Once he has enough power, he releases the brake and the acceleration pushes you into your seat.
