As an exiled Yorkshireman, I might point out that LBA is only there (on a ridgeline, in Yorkshire = quite often WX'd) because Bradford Council thought the Leeds swine would get the benefit if it was built at Sherburn (near the A1 and now the M62 and the main railway). The joys of local politics! A quite new old name - RAF Manston, we're now expected to say London Manston....so how much is the taxi fare!
