Manchester Airport - Then and now
Some great memories, I flew as an Air Steward with BOAC in the early 70's on VC-10 and 707's including the cargo variant.
Manchester to New York was operated with both types often via Prestwick although I remember operating nonstop on Standard VC-10's
If the aircraft was required back in London it was flown back with just the cabin crew and the short take-off was something to remember!
Perhaps someone can suggest what types of aircraft were stored by the hangars adjacent to the Altrincham to Wilmslow Road circa 1955 -ish when my Grand Father would walk me from Hale, I think there was also a derelict aircraft closer to the airfield. Lancaster?
