Early 80's after the Open golf at Birkdale.....an AF Concorde arrives at MAN to collect golfs elite and thus home to America.
Said Concorde is parked at the end of pier B and those travelling.... and the usual hangers on.... were permitted to stroll down the ramp as it were rather than inside the pier.
Thus, many expensive hair styles ( male and female ) along with equally expensive clothing on display.
Alas, nobody it seemed had thought to tell the well wishers who assembled at the end of the pier of the fact that 4 x Olympus generate a fair amount of efflux when taxiing away from the pier.
The returning throng, in addition to being sandblasted by the dust, gave a credible impression of the term "dragged though a hedge backwards ".
