Why is it called London Airport?
Added by Curious on 01 November 2006
It's called London Airport because the bay next to it is called London Bay.

It's called London Airport because to the east of it is the Bay of London.

Thanks for the replies. I just thought it a bit odd, but it makes sense now if there is a London Bay. Why is the Bay called London??? (Only joking!!)

When this airstrip was opened a pack of journalists flew from London Heathrow to London Eday about 1971.
