Gander Street Name Mis-spelled

We recently introduced a new section in the Transition era namely
Streets of Gander . We were about to include the historical details about Carl Backman, the first to depart Gander on a trans Atlantic flight in 1939, as an inclusion in this section when during our research we find the street is named 'Bachman Place'. If it is indeed named because of the historical actions of Carl Backman, then the street name is spelled incorrectly. To correct this error, it more than likely will create a nightmare in the Canada Post system. Maybe the best way to deal with this is to leave it as is and put an asterisk by the street name as a mis-spelling. Or name another street as 'Carl Backman St.'. There must be someone connected with aviation named 'Bachman'.
