Just a quicky on the "kink" at LGW. You've got three parallel pieces of concrete/tarmac there. The main runway is the Southern of the three, 26L/08R, the next one, 26R/08L is the backup and is not kinked, only the end of it is fed into the waiting area for the other end. Aircraft use this often for taxiing out and in. The Northern of the three is called Juliet and is only a taxiway, marked and lit as such. that's the one that has a kink in it, at the Tango intersection where the link that goes round the back of the big hangar that Virgin use.

Hope that clears up any confusion fully for Bobbsy.

Of course there's also the bit that runs along in front of the hangers Southside too, but you don't really need to know that
