Ok, something a bit different. BBC have a video from an airshow near Wolverhampton showing the surface of the runway being literally torn up and scattered all over by the exhaust from a Vampire jet.
I'm guessing it must be a small airstrip that doesn't get much jet traffic, but still you'd expect it to have been checked before holding an airshow.
Found another report here that reports the jet landed on another runway and was undamaged, but that runway has been taken out of service.
