"nn"s in Don(n)ington
Depends on your age, on how many "n"s in Don(n)ington. There are several mileposts in the locality, originating from the turnpike days; some of which do spell Don(n)ington with the double 'n'. HINT: if you do any internet searches on RAF Donington, always try both spellings as there appeared to be some doubt on the contemporary usage. Modern day acceptance is just the one 'n'. Or you could of course try "Nottingham +derby +leicester +international +castledon +any combination of the lot" for your searches.
I seem to remember that the mileposts on the Trent and Mersey Canal also have the same confusion of spelling.
