Non-US airport info out there?

I have been consulting AirNav sites for airport info like runway sizes, lighting, etc. Are there similar sites for non-US airports? Places like Iceland, UK, France and so forth have been busts as far as technical data and I have to use what I can find from photos, videos and Google maps to put in correct lighting and taxiways. Any leads would be most helpful.
 
Try a google search using 'Vatsim plus country' ( eg : Vatsim UK ) as a start and that should get you onto a page with airport info.

LGKO is my home, has the dormant Volcano that is the island of Nisyros as it's neighbour... and Kos itself was the only place during WW2 that Special Forces directly took each other on... on the UK side the SBS and on the German side the 'Brandenburger', the SBS realising they couldn't win the fight swam to neighbouring islands/ports (Kalymnos mostly from memory, possibly Bodrum too) and liberated any boat they could to help evacuate the British forces and the Italians who had joined the side of the British. the Salt Lake at Tigaki (My Home!) was home to spitfires for a short spell, as was the airport at Antimachia :) nice bit of history there for you on a Sunday :)
