Just heard George Best City Airport has been closed due to weather problems in Belfast....I'd never heard the name before.

Charles de Gaulle in Paris,John Lennon in Liverpool and Marco Polo in Venice are some of the many airports named after local well-known people that I can recall.

Wonder if Robin Hood had a connection to Doncaster as I'd always thought Sherwood Forest was in the county of Nottingham?

Its full title is Robin Hood Airport Doncaster Sheffield

Robin Hood was supposed to be from Loxley (hence in some books/novels he's called Robin of Loxley) which is a suberb of Sheffield

I was told many years ago by a relative who was a PLA pilot, that the names of merchant ships which sunk, and on which lives are lost are not reused due to the superstition attached to them. Have no idea if it's true, but ..... ???

I was hoping they would name Exeter Airport 'The Wurzels Airport' or the 'Tom Daley Takeoff Airport'....but they went and called it 'The Steak Pasty' Airport.....

No imagination these Devonians!...
