Which leads to some weird and spurious info TongueBigGrin

An example local to me (I fly from EGHU):

Because Flightnav has info about Downland and Stoodleigh Barton, they are included on SkyAngel Plan (and Flight).

Yet far more important places (like Eggesford and Sheepwash) are nowhere to be seen Hehe ?

There are better sources of info about airfields than FlightNav.co.uk ....

I actually used data from that page for a while before SkyAngel was publicly previewed, and found it to be unsuitable for our purposes. Besides the lack of full data, which is in itself enough not to use it, there are a lot of airfields in there that simply no longer exist today. Contrast that with FlightNav which is being actively maintained all the time by pilots.

When I look at my part of the world (South West UK) it's practically empty ...
