Zoom in to anywhere in Norfolk and you'll spot the typical letter 'A' shape of the runways, even if it's long disused.

Which brings up a further question. The arrangement of the runways at Biggin in the game looks 'wrong' as they more or less come to an apex at one point rather than the classic 'A' shape.

Does anyone know if this is accurate or not?

Cheers.
it is pretty much correct, Biggins runways indeed did come to an apex, but now only 2 of the runways are still used and the central one is a taxiway, the main runway is 03/21 and the smaller 11/29 is for light aircraft only.
