You have to take your hat off to Birmingham Council for allowing this pun-tastic street name.
I’ve used Maps.Live.com to provide a very clear image of the offending street.
So... obviously we have a flying theme running in this estate. Hawker Drive, Sopwith Croft, Concord Drive, Hurricane Drive and... Bader Walk.
Just in case you don’t know, Douglas Bader was a famous World War Two fighter pilot who crashed his plane and lost BOTH HIS LEGS. He managed to learn to walk again, and indeed fly again, by using artificial legs.
But really.... Douglas Bader walk.
