I wonder whereabouts on the airport the weather station is actually located?
Yes, I could check Google Maps, but the area is so large, it'd be a
needle-in-a-haystck search.



The meteorological instrument enclosure is on the north side of the airport.
It's about 130 metres north of the edge of the northern runway and about 20
metres south of the northern perimeter road. It is about 180 metres ESE of the
northern entrance to the tunnel at the south end of the M4 spur. Co-ordinates
are 51°28'45"N 0°27'2"W.


Thanks - I think I've got it now.
