Well, what I'll do is move the runways out to their approx locations about the 
centre of the current FG layout and leave the lighting intact.

I'll submit that to David Luff and then at least we have a basic layout to 
build upon.

It looks like the runways are fairly large in real life as well:

Martin Baker uses the airport for testing ejection seats, and flies a
Meteor jet out of it (that would explain why one runway was extended
to 6000 ft):

I haven't downloaded that scenery, but the fact that the runways
intersect in the middle suggests that we have the centre LAT/LON for
the airport rather than for the individual runways.  I haven't been
able to find any information about lighting, but I wouldn't be
surprised to see a VASIS or PAPI with the jet there.


All the best,


David
