Renaming of Southampton airport

R.J.Mitchell, the designer of the Spitfire aircraft is to be honoured, as Southampton want to rename its airport after him. At least Southampton HAS an airport they can name after him [the firm that designed the aircraft was based in Southampton], unlike his birthplace of Stoke on Trent - all they can do is put up a flying man statue on the outskirts, which hardly anybody sees, and isn't really in a public friendly place [a busy traffic light junction near the station]
