Interesting video of a then new 737 doing a short grass field test. As long as it's not too muddy eh?

Back in 1974 when I was parachuting at Strathallan in Perthshire, they landed a Mk2 Comet on grass for the collection. Sadly was not there that day, and don't think there is anything on film. As you can see, it is not a large runway !
