Yes - I'd noticed that as well.

On the question of naming airports, I had to give a presentation about use of airspace in the South-West. "The RAF Tanker force occasionally practise pairs approaches in VC10s at RAF St Mawgan. Which some of you might know as Newquay International - or for RyanAir, London-Newquay" quoth I. Much sucking of teeth from the audience - until I added "...or perhaps that should be Frankfurt-Newquay?". Which had them chuckling!

Did the ST really allege that RyanAir were offering departures to Frankfurt? Or did they mean that cow pasture nowhere near Frankfurt. Which some call Hahn, others Frankfurt-Hahn - and yet others where-the-hell-is-Hahn?

Again - hope that there is good news for loyal buzz people very soon.
