'The Independent Communist Republic of South Yorkshire People's Popular Airport'

Or simply 'Donny Drome'

Caslance - That would be akin to calling Manchester - Albert Tatlock International - I think you should leave this thread to the serious postings that actually advance the discussion

No-one outside UK's heard of either Finningley or Doncaster.

My choice would be Flat 'at International

.... or Black Pudd'n 'n' Mushy Peas Airport

That would pack them in. Bingo in the terminal, charabancs outside - a real Yorkshire welcome.

Merry Xmas to all our readers

Chiglet, where did you hear that? Was it Rita Sullivan in the Kabin? You're confusing Doncaster with Manchester mate.

Reminds me of the story of the Salford keep fit class, the instructor shouts "Hands on thighs" and they all covered their faces.

Salford, Frankfurt_Cowboy? More like Wigan, I would hazard.....

In any case, a Salford keep-fit class more usually takes the form of running away as quickly as possible from the scene of the crime!

Harry Ramsden International?

Should bring droves in to the Terminal building for a pre flight feed?

OR

Geoff Boycott International, with the domestic area named Dickie Bird Domestic.

OR

White Rose International. Could get additional sponsorship fron John Lewis food stores (Waitrose)

Burn the Mullall should note that since 1996 there has not been a county of Humberside! North Lincolnshire perhaps?

Caslance, you're confusing Waitrose with Netto, easy mistake to make!!! The nearest Waitrose is 53 miles away down the A1 in Newark.

Waitrose in Doncaster? Don't make me laugh.....the apemen of the Indus are more advanced than the population of Doncaster and their counting system goes 1, 2, 3, a lot!

3 and 4 letter codes for Finningley too

Only slightly off topic but whilst pondering the name what about the 3 and 4 letter codes?

In RAF guise Finningly was the EGXI if I recall and it did'nt have a 3 letter code that I can find

So Peel have a chance to come up with, in conjuncton with the authorities, some new ones

Any suggestions for IATA ICAO and the CAA to consider
