bit of a spat on the Prestwick thread about how long PIK has been desribed as Glasgow Prestwick, and a link has been posted to a 1958 BOAC timetable which refers to it as Glasgow (Prestwick)

So what goes up the cry, but it is interesting (and new to me) that the Transatlantic service came from Manchester/Liverpool and departed temporarily from Burtonwood Airport(!). Check-in was at either the Manchester Air Terminal or the Patten Arms Hotel, Bank Quay Station, Warrington.
Not heard of this before (admittedly it was before I was born), but what was all that about?
