The thing that impresses me most about this, is that the proposal has come from a 10 year old girl that has the maturity at such a young age to consider that an entire industries history has been shaped by an academic and he should be acknowledged for that. Of course QF has done that through naming an A380 after him.

Defence Establishment Fairbairn is home to RAAFs 34 Squadron witch obviously provides VIP transport for dignitaries. It is located on the opposite side of the airfield, with civilian operations out of the terminals, opposite. Canberra Airport has been privately owned since the late 1990's. Hence the military and civilian operations have been separate for some time. The young lass is suggesting that Canberra Airport become "David Warren Airport" (or similar). Her petition states that she feels it is highly important for Australians to know who Mr Warren is and what he achieved, as many do with sports stars and the like.

She also states that she feels as though Mr Warrens name should be leant to our national capitals airport, even though by Australian standards it is a relatively small, regional port.
