Can’t say I agree with the renaming, not so much because it’s after a footballer or an alocholic, but seems stupid to throw away the rare ‘City’ part of the airport’s name.
Flybe naming a Dash8 is fine and dandy, nothing against naming aircraft at all. Only problem there is when the picture of him starts to fade/peel off, will only look terrible.
If BHD is going to renamed, why not make it after Professor Frank Pantridge, definitely a less controversial character!
