Yes it
is "The Airport Hotel", but since the THF/Crowne Plaza pile was thrown up, [That was
also called The Airport Hotel
] The esteemed establishment has been known as "The
Old Airport Hotel". Nice pint of "Robbies" but a distinct lack of conversation sometimes.......
A "few" years ago two chaps were having a "quiet" pint in the beer garden...an EAL BAC111 wound up for departure, the air trembled, birds fell out of the trees, the men had to put their hands over the glasses to stop the beer spilling. The brakes were released, and in the characteristic plume of smoke, the BAC111 dissappeared over the "hump", finally to be seen climbing away.
Chap turns to his mate and says.."By 'eck, can you imagine that beggar wi'out them silencers ont' back?" [thanx to "grasscuttings, GATCO mag]
