They must have still been flying with Airtours in the '80s as I remember pre-flighting a C172 on the South Side apron at Manchester when one landed on (the then) 24. It landed long and was still going at quite a rate when it passed me, engines roaring in reverse.
It went out of sight behind the Kilroe hangar so I ran to the edge of the apron to witness what looked likely to be an over-run off the end of 24. The wings were bouncing up and down with the effects of reverse thrust and still in reverse it took the final turn-off at such a speed I'm amazed the tyres survived!
All was OK in the end, but it must have been 'interesting' for the pax!
