Below is a reply from John Lennon Airport.

Dear Mr Foley,

Thank you for your feedback to the Liverpool John Lennon Airport website.

The Airport Company were sorry to hear of Mr Ridyard’s passing in 2011 and are happy for individuals to remember Mr Ridyard at the airport this year.  However, we would like to draw your attention to the following Safety Information in respect of the release of Chinese lanterns.

http://www.chineselanterns.co.uk/chinese-sky-lanterns-safety.html

Safety First!!!

• Used properly these lanterns should be safe yet full responsibility is borne by the user of the lantern.
• Unsuitable for use by children under 16 years of age.
• Must not be used under the influence of alcohol.
• Use only in very calm wind conditions.
• Product should not be used when wind speed is above 5mph.
• Must be used over 5 miles from airports.
• Do not use near dry crops or other materials that may catch fire.
• Keep a fire extinguisher or bucket of water nearby.
• If the lanterns paper does catch fire extinguish & discard.
• Only use in open spaces.
• It is safer & easier for two people to launch one lantern at a time.

Therefore, we regret that the release of Chinese lanterns will not be permitted on or within 5 miles of the airport site.

Kind regards

Below is a reply from John Foley to John Lennon Airport.

Dear Christina Smith, Thank you for your early reply to my request..In 2011 Liverpool Airport did allow the release of 12 Chinese lanterns which took place by the airport roundabout at 2.10am to 2.30am as no flights were landing or taking off at these times.. I would hope the same could take place again this year as Mr Ridgard was based at John Lennon Airport and not 5 miles away. Thank you for your time and understanding. Correspondences are placed of www.ryanairdontcarecrew.blogspot.com   kindest regards john
