Usually, when we consider air travel in the UK we tend to think of airports in London and southeast of the country. However, the southwest of the country has seen much development in air travel over the last ten years and it is becoming more and more likely that holidaymakers from Devon, Cornwall and Somerset will be able to find a flight to their desired destination without having to travel to London first. Here is a short guide to the Westcountry's most significant airports.

Exeter International Airport

Civil flights began from Exeter Airport during 1946 after it was handed over by the RAF. By 1952 Exeter was offering short haul overseas flights to the Channel Islands (it still does today), and by the 1980s its services solidified its reputation as the most important airport in the Westcountry. Today the airport also offers many internal flights, along with overseas flights to Dubrovnick, Paris, Salzberg, and Toronto by airlines ranging from Flybe to Thomson.

Plymouth City Airport

By comparison, Plymouth Airport has seen relatively little growth over the years, despite its long history that stretches back to 1923. In recent years the airport boasted services to internal destinations, the Channel Islands and France, but by September 2007 it looked as if the airport would close due to the proposed sale of its second runway for industrial development. However, the following month a number of new routes were announced to Ireland, Chambéry and Newcastle amongst others and the airport benefited from a new lease of life.

Newquay Cornwall Airport

Internal commercial services have been in place at Newquay since the middle of the 20th century, but it wasn't until 1975 that British Midland Airways constructed a fully-fledged passenger terminal. By the end of the 70s, overseas flights to the Channel Islands were available, and by the 90s a new civil terminal allowed the airport to process more passengers. In 2008 a long-term Airport Masterplan was drafted with the initial aim to process 700,000 passengers annually. Newquay now offers flights within the UK and across Europe.

Bristol International Airport

Bristol airport is one of the fastest growing airports in the UK and processed over 6 million passengers in 2008. Subsequently, it is the Westcountry's busiest airport and has the widest range of services including airport parking and excellent connections to Wales and south west England. Bristol has the most comprehensive number of services to Europe from the area, including: Brussels, Amsterdam and Trieste, whilst it also offers international flights to destinations as diverse as: Tenerife, Sharm el-Sheikh, and Orlando.

Kinfolk Bowie Knife

Bowie knives and other rugged knives are oftentimes exposed to harsh conditions. These knives are used outdoors and for hunting a great deal, which means a lot of exposure to moisture, blood and other corroding substances. The blade on these knives will sometimes develop a few spots of rust here and there especially if the knife if used regularly and you've at it for a long time. This is entirely fixable and, if you perform the procedure correctly, your knives will be as good as new. There are multiple ways to go about cleaning the rust off of a knife blade. One obvious method is to use oil. Bowie knives with expensive blades should be oiled regularly, anyway. Not only does oil prevent...

Wwii Camillus Bayonet

Franklin Delano Roosevelt was born in 1882 into an extremely wealthy family. We're talking townhouse in Hyde Park, summer home in Maine, private railroad car wealthy. Contrary to what you might expect, however, his upbringing was extremely disciplined. As a child he had a strict daily routine, private tutoring, and intensive French and German lessons. In a deliciously ironic twist, the Roosevelts moved to Germany when Franklin was nine. Little did his teachers know that they were training the boy whose military would conquer their country just 54 years later. Franklin met Eleanor Roosevelt while attending Harvard in 1902. In case you didn't catch it the first time, that's Eleanor neé...

These people are usually not much use to their employers and may, in this rough economy, soon find themselves replaced by someone with a better attitude about work. If you are one of...
