If you grab the KML file from my web pages it overlays all known airfields
onto GE. I've done a similar file for navaids and intersections.
It's on http://www.homepages.mcb.net/bones/Kinetic/Kinetic_Utilities.htm -
about halfway down the page.

Definitely Honiley (ex-WWII RAF). Was used by 605 Squadron (night fighters)
1941 onwards. Aprox 4DME on the approach to 33. Was owned by the
(non-defunct) Lucas organization and was used for many years by Girling as a
vehicle/brake test track. No idea of its present ownership/usage tho' it
could be TRW Automotive Ltd. As bones has said, the Honiley VOR is situated
within the old airfield boundary. See

If you see it on GE then you'll find a VOR on the airfield. <g>

Probably Honiley, because a check on the FSX GPS showed the Honiley
intersection to be about there. Off for a look at Google Earth. I'd not
heard of a Honiley field before. Was it wartime, though it isn't the usual
WWII style of layout?
