Yeah and it isn't to find out airfield elevation.

and as usual you display your complete immunity to actual provided evidence to an argument, I linked the the page directly to the UK AIP aerodrome chart for Biggin hill and you still insist that airfield elevation is deffined in a hobby website, next time you look at an official METAR tell me if you see any reference to airfield elevation.

598 feet is out of date data and is from a 2006 deffinition, check the link I provided from the UK official aeronautical publication, even the airports own site is using the out of date for some odd reason.

Pilot obtains the field elevation from official publications. Charts being by far, the most common method used.
