>>> Sorry but I have never heard of any such arrow near 7oaks during my flying time at Biggin 1970/ 82. Not to say others with long memories may be able to help. There were of course the cluster of lakes there that served as a useful navigational aid. Also there was and still is the large white cross on the slope of a hill at nearby Shoreham village.
