Charing X to London Airport?
Anyone else noticed just how many airfields are changing their names to London Xxxxxxxx Airport?
Also, is there any limit as to how far they can be from the centre of London (that is traditionally Charing Cross), & still claim to be a London Airport?
The ones that I know about, with distances in nm, direct from Charing Cross, include:-
Biggin Hill..........11 nm
Southend..........31
Lydd/Ashford.....51
Manston...........55
Are we about to see "London Prestwick Airport"?

Well I did once have to tell a Customs man in Troyes (France), that I was departing for London ELSTREE Airport, as he did not want to let us go, 'cos he had never heard of that quaint little airfield!
And, Elstree IS much nearer Charing Cross, than a lot of the aforementioned "London" Airports.
