I would like to know which preposition I should choose for the following sentence:

'The French army landed at Nottingham or in Nottingham?

Both prepositions can be used after to land, but in this case "in" is the right choice.

When did the French army land at/in Nottingham? Nottingham is an inland city in the midlands of England.

They could have landed at East Midlands Airport.

That's true, I don't remember hearing of an airborne invasion of the east midlands though.

Give it time.

Some people will do anything to get into this country.
