This a long way from top priority but when there's a spare moment - - -

Vagur is a village on the southern island of Suðuroy. Vagar is an island - where the airport is situated.

Wojtek's travel tip is for the isalnd and he has given it correct spelling but it comes up with Vagur on the search board.

Mmmm. two different places? Wikipedia explains this as:



Spelt with an A, "Vágar is one of the 18 islands in the archipelago of the Faroe Islands and the most westerly of the large islands." 262000 Images at Google



Spelt with an U, "Vágur meaning Bay is a town on the Faroe Island of Suðuroy, it is situated on the east coast of the island on the Vágsfjørður fjord." 4400 Images at Google.
