Ever tried finding Spanhoe? The frst time I went there I knew I was in the right vicinity thanks to a combination of KNS80 offset VOR/DME and map reading, but I had a heck of a job picking out the 'runway'. Because, unlike most ex-WW II airfields, the runway is actually a tiny bit of old taxiway! Eventually realised I was right overhead the aerodrome when I spotted the parked aircraft!

Big to small - that's the way to do it!
