Manchester
Ahh some memories on this thread ...
The black rubber flooring all over T1, with the sound of trolleys running over it... for me, the sound of travel.
The travelators in the T1 car park, much faster than the lifts today.
VC10's on Pier B. A few years back I had the honour of marshalling an RAF aircraft on to stand. A fine sight, and the parking wasn't bad either.
Christmas parties: the best ones were held by SB and Customs. Customs, somehow, always had a very well stocked bar ...
Good News on the chandeliers ... Thanks to the Heritage Lottery Fund, two are being restored, one to go to the Museum of Glass in St Helens, the other to the Manchester Museum of Science and Industry.
