Does anyone know of any websites that have maps of UK airfields – showing layouts and runway headings e.t.c.?

Cheers,

Neil

Neil,

I've had a quick look, and,

Depends what you're after - open or disused airfields. I can't think of any sites with detailed airfield maps (i was looking for a couple myself last week)

For open airfields I can suggest the following book, which has charts for most UK airfields

UK Airports and Airfields: A Spotter's Guide (Tim Laming)

The following link has a catalogue of most UK airfields ever in existance, and links to the corresponding aerial photos and OS maps on multimap.com

http://www.homepages.mcb.net/bones/06airfields/

Finally, for very general labelled layout sketches try

http://www.thunder-and-lightnings.co.uk/spotting/

I think you'll be hard pressed to find decent quality charts due to copyright etc, but I might be wrong...

Cheers

Charlie

Nah Pooley's Flight Guide is the way to go. Every airfield in the country mapped.

Oops, yeah, if you just want it for flying around Pooley's or whatever flight guide...

Sorry, I was in nostalgic scenery design mode...
