LONDON-SOUTHEND AIRPORT
No one seems to mind all the various proposed estuary fantasy/vanity project options having a "London" prefix. Lydd ("London-Ashford") gets no criticism, and Oxford-Kidlington ("London-Oxford") is criticised a little.
But in the case of Southend, the knives are out big time! As stated by Barling Magna, of all the "London" airports only London City is in London (as mentioned in their current advertising campaign).
So why does Southend get all the stick about being/not being a "London" airport?
