Fans all over Powys are welcoming the revival of . The famous sign on the A44 near Crossgates disappeared in November last year, just days after a had been started in its honour.
"I could hardly believe it," said Nicholas Whitehead, the man behind the airport sign. "After seven years or so, I thought the sign might have had its day.
But I was wrong. Someone startedÌýa FacebookÌýgroup and it suddenly filled with people wanting to know what had happened to the sign and demanding its return."
The sign first appeared in 2002 when Nicholas who used to live in Radnorshire noticed that the roadside advertising sign was vacant.
"I was visiting friends in Llandegley one evening and we came up with the airport idea," recalled Nicholas. "The people at the billboard company were a bit doubtful when I told them what we had in mind but I was willing to pay the going rate so we had a deal."
Since then, the sign has been discussed in national newspapers, featured in the TV series Great Welsh Roads and has even appeared in the pages of Hansard as part of a parliamentary debate.
