Thank you for pointing out that you are not one of the 'little Englanders'. I agree with you entirely, there is every reason for Birmingham and its airport to celebrate the Olympic Games. Remember, Birmingham itself unsuccessfully but bravely tried to host these very same games some 20 years ago.
Birmingham is a major city with an international reputation, it is right and fitting that it should recognise what will be the biggest sporting even not only in this country but the entire world in 2012.
And for those who moan that the rings are only in white; we are in a period of austerity, white is good enough for me and I am sure most other right-minded people.
Having said all that I do hope both the US and Jamaican squads do either fly in directly to BHX or at least their presence in the city is recognised by some form of air traffic.
As to a certain 747, this would in any case be a closely guarded secret but it has been here before and could come again...
Some of you on here can't help but knock, look at the bigger picture please....
