Manchester August 1972

Post by VEGAS »

Hi all,

this lovely photo has just appeared on Airliners. A typical Manchester (Ringway Airport) apron during the early 1970's. Just look at the noses of the comet and the caravelle stood together. Love it.. :rock:

Beautiful, Eddie - brings a tear to my eye :'(

Could have been me in that pocket rocket at the back - just off for a well-earned night at the Grand Hotel....

Terrific shot, couldn't resist putting it on my desktop :)

Richards shots of APER and APIM are rather nice too.

Wonder why although Cambrian, Northeast, Scottish and Channel used the same title font, "cambrian" never had a dot on the "i" whilst "channel islands" and "scottish airways" did :think:
