Stuart Mustow

 * ... that Stuart Mustow recommended that Birmingham City Council lose responsibility for maintaining the city's Inner Ring Road due to construction defects? " In March 1978 inspectors found high alumina cement in a number of concrete beams ... For Stuart Mustow, the County Surveyor, this was the final straw. In July 1978 he proposed that Birmingham’s local authority should no longer have control over the maintenance of the Inner Ring Road"
 * ALT1:... that a compromise agreed between county surveyor Stuart Mustow and the county architect saw a planned new terminal for Birmingham Airport located "half way up" a hill? There were two options to locate a new terminal ... I proposed the former since it was at the bottom of the sloping land ... the county surveyor (Mustow) agreed but the county architect did not ... after a tussle of opinions the classic British compromise settled on a position half way up the hill"

 * Symbol possible vote.svg Page is long enough and new enough. I don't see the birthplace in the source given. Lulu Press is a self-published outfit and should not be used as a source unless the author is a recognized expert, and possibly not even then (WP:BLPSPS). Some sources are not accessible. Didn't notice any copyvio or plagiarism. Both hooks sources supported inline, perhaps I'd like the second hook more were it not for the Lulu Press issue. QPQ done.

 * Thanks for the review Jo-Jo Eumerus. The birthplace is listed in the appendix to the paper, it is the third unnumbered page following page 63.  Thanks for informing me about the source, I hadn't clocked that it was a self-publishing outfit.  The author, Henri Pageot, is a former director at (British Airports Authority so I think he is reliable in this context.  He has been quoted in articles on aviation and airports for the BBC and The Independent.  However I will caveat that it is "according to" him in the article, and strike the DYK ALT used here - Dumelow (talk) 17:22, 28 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Ok, first hook then. I am not entirely sure about that "according to" statement, though. I've asked on WT:DYK. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk, contributions) 17:34, 28 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Hi Jo-Jo Eumerus, in light of the lack of feedback I have removed the airport section to allow the DYK to progress - Dumelow (talk) 17:03, 30 January 2018 (UTC)
