- for the youngsters amongst us who can only remember the Number 44 bus to the airport from Manchester Piccadilly, it should be pointed out this bus route in the late-1950s and onwards was originally the Number 64, using red double deckers with open rear boarding platform. The route was later renumbered to the 44. The airport terminus in those days was the main entrance to the former RAF Ringway camp with the old Astra cinema block on the corner.
- Ref post 222 - last aircraft to land on RWY 28 was based Rockwell AC112A, G-LITE, on 8th January 1995 at time 1615,
with a dodgy u/c, which only locked down in the flare (!) stopping well short of the main 06/24.
