Scars
This is obviously an old photo (pre 17Jan) as you can clearly see the scars left by the undercarriage and engines of the BA38 on the grass area. It shows as a very bright green set of 'tracks'. Could google send their satellite over LHR again soon to see them please?

re: Rochefort ???
Thanks - that must have been in the original data source. I've corrected it, based on the French Wikipedia article.

Jersey Aeroclub
The Jersey Aeroclub is handling the GA-traffic. And they're doing a superb job. What lovely people and so helpful. Just park your craft for an overnight stay, go in and meet the folks. For briefing facilities they're well-equipped. After filling in the customs forms, they're willing to help you to find a hotel and call for a taxi.
