[Talk-GB] OS LandForm Panorama (contour data) parsing tools?

[Graham Jones]

I haven't tried to do it, but did wonder about having a go last weekend, but
in the end I used SRTM data, because there were ready made instructions to
do it.
Is the OSM data expected to be better than SRTM?   If so I might well have
another go....
