Baginton, Coventry International:
There is a hard runway there of course, but when the wind is from the north,
you taxied south to the trees, and pushed the throttle(s) heading for 
the hangars
over the grass.
Something the DC-3 could do too - not to mention the C-5 - on a rather longer
 grass strip, no doubt.
