Manchester Memories...
The revolving light on top of the hangar near the aviation viewing park which reflected off the low clouds at night
The dark blue fuselages and gold lettering of BOAC VC10s - very posh - and the more workmanlike BEA with their Vanguards
Court Line with their dayglo coloured aircraft - each one a different colour
Soviet Tu-134s sounding like a jet fighter on take off..
Taking my airband radio - you just tuned up and down the band until you found someone transmitting - to be checked by the airport technicians.
The long piers which were great for viewing..
the parafin smell of the fuel...
