Updates
Catalogue
of UK Airfields
Work
on updating the Catalogue of UK Airfields is well under way. The pages
will undergo three stages of revision to improve loading times, appearance
and content. In addition the data will also be available as a KML file
for viewing in Google Earth and as an MMO file for viewing in Memory Map.
Stage
1 is already complete. The original pages were imported from Excel to
FrontPage and this was exceedingly inefficient - pages were about 2.5Mb
each. With better code these are now much smaller and averaging about
170k.
Stage
2 is the revision of Lat/Long data for existing records. Airfields will
also be categorised to indicate the accuracy of their position. At present
this work is about 60% complete.
Stage
3 will be the addition of further data from new research and user input.
This will start once Stage 2 is complete.
The
Catalogue will be updated as the work progresses. Until the updating is
finished these will be flagged as Interim Updates.
