The former football manager Luke Williams has gone up in the
world! He has just lost his position coaching Swansea City FC. He quit in
February after a run of seven defeats in just nine matches. This has made him
unpopular with the fans and in the end the board decided to let him go. As
regular followers will know, I have got into the habit of considering airport
mobility helpers honourary hospital porters, for example see: https://hpanwo-tv.blogspot.com/2025/06/ben-in-desert-2.html.
Even though they are not technically HP's I find it impossible not to compare
them to members of our ancient and noble profession. Their job is to assist
disabled passengers around the airport, through customs and security, and on
and off the aircraft. They push the travellers on wheelchairs and I've been
saluting them and saying "Pride and Dignity Brother/Sister Porter"
when I pass them. They usually smile and thank me. Luke Williams is one of
these honourary HP's at Bristol Airport
