Anyone who has been taught in the last few years at Shoreham knows that the recomended circuit pattern for runway 21 is:

After take off, Turn left at the coast not below 500 feet
Turn downwind when you see the warehouse with the blue door on the quayside at Shoreham Harbour
Head downwind towards the A27 tunnels
Turn left base overhead Tescos Superstore
Head towards the chimney
Turn final before you hit the chimney

I kid you not, instructors teach this. All very well until you visit a new airfield which suprise suprise doesn't have the above useful landmarks a similar pattern is used for runway 03...
