Further down, there is the usual pic of the terminus with the LLA logo.
Funny how it looks as though it was originally designed to look like three 'L's with the last one knocked over by a low-flying aeroplane.

I like the way they say 'Pilot Confusion' but not....'Piss poor labelling by Portuguese airport workers'.
You'd think they'd just paint in big numbers on the tarmac "Distance to end of runway 780 metres" (eg).

# You're right, I want my pilots to be standing up over their controls, craning their necks
and trying to read what's painted on the runway while they're taking off.

Oh and BTW I live only a few miles from Luton, have friends that live in the town, and regularly pass through it.
It is in no way part of London. Nor is Stanstead. And Gatwick is probably as far out from the M25 too.
It's honestly quite a stretch to call these London airports.
They are about as much London airports as Calais is a Dover port.

# I think you must be the only person in the world to have noticed this fact.
It must be because of your fascinating personal connection to Luton.
