DISCORDE .. We must be from the same area as I lived in Brantwood Avenue and it was the constant stream of aircraft over the outer marker in Redlees Park that got me interested in aviation. I must have been later than you it was 707s, Tridents Britannia's and the like (and good old Edgar Raffles).
I do recall an airshow at Barton in (perhaps the 90s) when an Air Two Bob 757 did a flypast down the runway at about 250 feet. I am pretty sure that was well arranged as ATC must have given it vectors from T/O at Ringway to Barton and them to climb out and set off for its destination.
