Circuit direction

I posted this in another section but maybe can get information here....
In flight I find myself in need of a diversion airfield with the runway in a direction suitable to the wind.
Would an ACT normally have this information available and be prepared offer suggestions?

I doubt you'd be flying in my airspace, but we are there to help. Even a complete spud on a sector can pick up the book and look for you, others would KNOW.

D&D at West Drayton would be your best bet!

If you are talking to an approach unit they should know the config of airfields near you.

They may have time to get you the weather.

Failing that London Info or D&D as said.
