Dunsfold details

Does anyone have any old documentation showing the TRUE bearing of the runway at Dunsfold ie NOT the QDM. I've tried wikipeadia but all it gives is runway designation 07/25.

Wouldn't an old document show a figure that was yet to take in the magnetic variation that has now taken effect?

HD: needs to e more accurate than that ie from an official survey, butr from the info of Spekesoftly, it would appear the runway is still 07/25 (var1.6 deg W)
