Spoof £25,000 airport sign makes a welcome return
BBC Wales weather presenterNow, it is making a comeback.on the A44 in Powys between Rhayader and Kington.
The extra money will be donated to the Wales Air Ambulance, which Mr Whitehead said he was happy to support given the aviation connection. In the sign's original location near Crossgates, it cost about £1,500 per year to maintain. But thanks to the crowd-funding, a new one has been installed to the east of the village.
Fencing contractor Fred Morris put up the new sign and described it as a bit of a folly: "When you tell people where you come from, they ask 'have you seen the sign for the airport?' People play along with the joke."The sign has become a popular spot for photos and selfies, though people are warned to be careful"We've had a lot of people asking where the airport is," Mr Lythgoe said. "We're thinking of renaming the van the international departure lounge.
