I don't know either. The aircraft was a fixed wing (Diamond DA42 NG) and didn't do any such zigzags. The data should be GPS fixes that make their way via radio and the internet to my screen. Where the errors creep in is beyond me. C.mc2fool wrote:csearle wrote:1 Point. It was all one flight though, but top LHS is indeed the point of departure and landing.
OK, but are the very pointy changes in direction 'cos it's a helicopter/quadcopter/similar or are they just artefacts of the plotting tech? Or something else altogether...?
It was a "show" in the very broadest possible sense, but the aerobatics, whilst briefly present, were not dramatic.kempiejon wrote:mc2fool wrote:the very pointy changes in direction

I'd love to do that trip. Sadly not though, mind you Biggin Hill is (just) covered by the image. C.Imbiber wrote:Spitfire from Biggin Hill in East Kent and the White cliffs of Dover.

The southernmost tip does indeed reach the channel. Parts of it do go over Essex. Margate is off the map to the right. Biggin is covered by the black, but not within the loop.mc2fool wrote:csearle wrote:I'd love to do that trip. Sadly not though, mind you Biggin Hill is (just) covered by the image. C.
Ah, well, if both Rochester and Biggin Hill are within it then ...
Would the southernmost tip reach the channel? Is it all over Kent or does it also go over Essex? And would the right angle on the right in the lower half be over Margate?

There are three airfields involved in the flight, and then there is that white circle. I'll split the 2 points for the locations into four half points, one for each airfield and one for the white circle. Awarded to the first mentioner.

It isn't Ordnance Survey data. The black spot is me, so to speak. C.UncleEbenezer wrote:csearle wrote:I own (or am legally permitted to post) the OpenStreetMap contributors image above.
You've licenced the Ordnance Survey data included for public sharing?
When I was involved in projects using UK map data (admittedly not recently), they were *very* protective!
p.s. What's the black spot on Tunbridge Wells?

Nope.
I just see a broken green square and the word image adjacent to it.

Try a full refetch. Ctrl-F5. I.e. hold down the Ctrl key and press F5. If that fails, can you see https://ukpilot.uk/exm.jpg ?

Ctrl-F5 - no difference
