Who remembers the Olympic rings flower display beside the Fantail in support of the Olympic bid for 1996, or the 2003 UEFA footballs on various grass islands?
Or the plastic cows for the Manchester Cow Parade in 2004?.
These were all at the airport; some spent some time outside on the airfield adjacent to taxiways at the end of T1 Pier B to publicize the event. Led to some interesting exchanges with ATC - Roger, mooove along the taxiway was one.
Also had some fun getting them into the restricted zone....
