Just so.  If a runway is being re-surfaced the aircraft can be flown  
from a nearby airfield such as Honington from Lakenheath.

Nice puns, Piers :-).  Although of course a bolthole is a hole to  
which the frightened little animal bolts for safety.  And for the  
military flying fraternity a bolthole was somewhere of (relative)  
safety in a dangerous world; the Cold War spawned that derivation for  
me as we had an Operation Bolthole for heading for the nearest  
complete runway if our own had been damaged in an attack.
