Sort of - it depends what you mean. The original third "runway" at Boscombe is now used as a taxyway and a datum point for the VAAC Harrier. However, the northern taxyway is also used as a Tutor runway to free up the main, and there are at least two grass runways mown too.

I think that's exactly what they are, just grass, no markings, but they do appear on the charts.

It's just an excuse for MT to go charging in more directions (and for visitors to get lost!)
