Liverpool John Lennon Airport
Liverpool John Lennon Airport (IATA Airport Code LPL) is a fairly small-sized aviation facility in Liverpool. It was renamed in honour of the late John Lennon, a founding member of Liverpudlian music group The Beatles, in 2000, twenty years after Lennon's murder. Before this, the facility was known as Speke Airport, after the southern Liverpool suburb where it is located.
On the roof is painted the airport's motto, a line from Lennon's song, "Imagine": "Above us, only sky".
