LEDB code
 
I came across the code LEDB and it is referred to on the web site
http://gc.kls2.com/airport/LEDB as being Spanish, yet it is located in the UK. Anyone understand this?:confused:

After a search I have failed to find the ICAO code LEDB except on the site that you mention.

I think it is a c0ck-up!

Well, FWIW, a quick search brings up Ledbetter apt, TX, USA. How a US apt would have an LExx designator, I, however, know not.....:confused:

There is no LEDB in Spain according to ICAO doc 7910. The only two ICAO's in that series are LEDF (Madrid Air Defence Co-ordination Centre) & LEDM (Valladolid COM/MET centre).

The airfiield at Ledbury doesn't have an ICAO designator - obviously the person who has written this website has shortend the name to its first 4 letters, thus causing the confusion).

That website is one of countless "pilot information" websites, most of them loaded with errors, out of date info, out of date weather charts, out of date TAFs, METARs.

I don't know why anybody bothers with these sites when the proper stuff is free.
