Colin's post did answer this

They are the ones, which at some time, were sponsored by the Government
as
"London" airports. But they aren't sponsored by the Government any more


I'm sorry if I'm being a pest about this, but I really am
curious: how was "official" declared. What does "sponsored" mean?


I was using the word loosely to mean "owned by". But I didn't say that
because I couldn't remember if BAA was privatised before STN was developed
into a major airport.


It was still a government body at the time.

Colin Bignell.
