If you live on the east of Manchester, maybe you should try Huddersfield International Airfield.
They haven't half got a good runway, and their Terminal Block has all the usual facilities, as long as you remember to bring some water for tea making and flushing of the toilets.
btw... Wherever you choose these days, because of licensing rules for airfields, even ex WW2 runways of 3km are being designated as 799m long.
So don't buy an airplane that requires 1000m.
