When clearing out the loft in our old house I came across a Luxair baggage tag for LON. Probably from the sixties. East Midlands is now the obvious EMA but I'm sure that when we flew back there from Menorca in 1975 the baggage was tagged CDD in reference to the 'local' name of Castle Donington. ISTR that the R/T callsign was Castledon Approach/Tower until quite recently - maybe thirty years though....
