A trip down Manchesters memory lane!

After looking through my pictures which were taken at Manchester over a number of years, I came a cross a few classics. Not all are British, but classics to us all none the less. Again forgive the quality due to their age.

The Green Machine on the climb.

Air UK 146 climbing out.

I miss these old birds.

An airline no longer with us.

Big flaps.

Used to love watching these, must be before the days of Hawarden.

A very old shot.

Another airline and aircraft no longer seen at Manchester.

Loganair ATP I think.

Nice aircraft.

Atmospheric shot.

These need no commentary!

Hope you enjoyed them! Thanks to my Grandad, God Bless him!

Hi Jetty,

Those were simply fantastic! It brings back so many memories looking at those aircraft. All of which would be underlined in my CAM! - remember those? I stopped buying it when they started wanting Â£500 per copy!(well..not quite but to me it was dear) In fact I went the whole nine yards once and bought JP Airline fleets. That was about Â£35.00! My poor mother nearly had a heart attack when she found out I paid that for a plane spotters book.

Mums eh? They just don't geddit do they?!

Thanks for sharing buddy..
