I wondered how long it would take the "Manchester knockers" to get involved and RUPETIME did not dissapoint.
The show was somewhat let down by mechanical failures grounding some of the aircraft that were planned to make an appearance but what the hell. With a negative warped mind I am sure you could blame the Airport Authority for that as well. Maybe they should have just ignored the anniversary and then you could have moaned about that as well and no I do not work for them but I do get sick and tired of people like RUPETIME constantly knocking the airport - what a sad life they lead.
I have used airports all over the world, some good, some bad and some "bloody" aweful and I believe Manchester stands up against many of it's competitors.
