Yeah, no problem - I'll be doing a few, so I'll bundle them all up and
send them in when they're reasonably accurate - the pan at EGXG is roughly
the right shape, but way out at the moment.

Yes it's mine - based on a pic I took of the tower at Church Fenton - it
should do nicely as a generic RAF control tower, although could do with
some more windows - as could the hangar.

heh :-) I know - it suffered from the same problem when I ran genapts
before adding the taxiways - if anyone has any ideas what could have
caused it I'd love to hear them.

OK - maybe it was just the width field it died on - I just edited the lot
to match another line in runways.dat - I'll give the new version a try.

Ah, that should be very handy - lights down the middle of extremely wide
sections just look wrong.
