Hello,

I've just sent the following minor corrections to Robin Peel for inclusion 
in the next update.

EGNW (Wickenby) [810 format, Unix line endings].

http://awaywiththepixies.org.uk/pub/FlightGear/Aerodromes/EGNW/EGNW-20080802.dat

Summary of changes:
1. Runways - default position/length/orientation corrected (UK AIP)
2. Windsock - removed four defaults and correctly placed one unlit
3. Tower - add tower viewpoint + prevent auto drawing of tower
4. Light Beacon - add dummy green+white beacon to prevent auto creation
5. Taxiways/Apron - basic structure added
6. Comms - "Wickenby Radio" A/G frequncy added

Reference data used (AIP) is freely available via UK/JAA NATS sources:
 http://www.nats-uk.ead-it.com/aip/current/ad/EGNW/EG_AD_2_EGNW_en.pdf

A few points are worth a mention. The runway surface is listed as being 
concrete although photographs seem to indicate otherwise. I contacted 
the operating company concerned who did indeed confirm that the runway 
surface is now asphalt. Markings are a little odd looking too. Their 
runway is actually a runway marked within an old runway. Officially 
declared distances are all within those markings with no under or 
overrun, despite what looks suspiciously like displaced thresholds for 
03 and 34. The old eastern taxiway terminates rather abruptly as what 
remains of it is now a public road.

EFVA is progressing nicely.

It this the right place to make such postings?

Kind regards.

Martin Fenelon.
