what about Kegworth International, should stop all the local bickering!
Indeed or Castle Donington International. All the motorsport fans know where it would be then!

Only thing Derby has going for it right now is a better football team than either Nottingham or Leicester, although that will change again soon!

Indeed with the way things are going in my football club, bloody Ilkeston Town will be better than us

Not to stray off topic too far, but Derby is a dump
On the face of it, Derby may not appear as attractive as Nottingham, but I find few UK cities as threatening as Nottingham. Its a good looking city, fine shops, great concert venues, but for some reason Nottingham seems to attract vagrants and junkies in huge numbers, continually hassling and begging…spent an entertaining time last year, locked inside my car, waiting to pick up son number 1 from a concert at Rock City watching the drug deals very openly going on in front of me.
And vaguely back on topic, always thought Coventry = EGBE = Birmingham East. As for EMA, what about Kegworth International, should stop all the local bickering!

Close Kev, but not close enough… Ryanair already operate from the airport, and they want it to be renamed “Birmingham NorthEast” 😉

Ah. I see now. So, is Coventry to be called Birmingham South or London Gatwick North?

All these Ryanair jokes become slowly more hilarious as the years go on :rolleyes:
Nice work Kev.

i wouldnt bother walking to Nottingham, crap city, Derby much better
Ahem! :rolleyes: Not to stray off topic too far, but Derby is a dump – if Derby was so good, the airport would be called “Derby East Midlands” but it isn’t. Only thing Derby has going for it right now is a better football team than either Nottingham or Leicester, although that will change again soon!

Just a few from the delightfully named Nottingham East Midlands Airport… Rumour is that if Ryanair start up at NEMA they will be calling it Glasgow South.

Excellent shots Kev, always love seeing G-OOOG, reminds me to my trip to paradise :).

Was that the Belfast flight 737 thingy?
By: Grey Area - 20th June 2005 at 06:58
That’s the very place, Steve.
It was known as East Midlands or Castle Donington in those days – before the management consultants got hold of it and changed the name.

Great shots Kev, don’t hear or see a great deal about this airport on this forum. Is that the airport where the BMI 737 crashed just short of the field after shutting down the wrong engine
