I Never Knew That

[nailit]

Had to drive to Coventry Foodbank Warehouse today to pick up surpless stock.
Never been to Coventry in my life. Was surprised to see signs for Coventry airport.
NEVER knew that Coventry had an airport and surprised to see so many low flying craft. Would have thought that nearest airport would have been Birmingham.

Always like to learn a new bit of trivia.
Anything surprised you?
Any triv you've come across incidently?

I flew from there quite a few times when I lived in Spain.

If I remember correctly it was a Thomson only airport.

Yet, if you were to mix paint of all the colours of the spectrum together, you would end up with very dark brown/almost black
