On another off topic note - what happened to the plans for a roof and enclosure structure for Concorde (as specified in the contract with BA I believe) ?

I wonder if the AVP is to be moved, job lot, over to the south side at some point as was originally planned.

I know what the development plans are at Manchester Airport, in all three terminals...!!

But I can't say here 'cos that'll blow my cover..!!

I think that they should build a new Runway to the north of T2; like bury the M56 and go over the top of it. 24L is never going to be anything other than a compromise, and a dangerous one at that.

Was the pax walkway tunnel constructed when T2 was built towards the centre of the apron, or is the apron going to have to be dug up to build it??

One of the original runway options was a northerly runway shooting off towards Ashley village and rosthernmere.

Dont think the tunnel was built under Western apron.

Definately not built when the terminal/apron was being constructed.

I would have thought that with modern technology it might be cheaper to build a bridge - a'la Gatwick - and save having to dig up half the apron with all the problems incurred.
