Notes:

Seen looking from the old spectators terraces at Manchester. The aircraft was parked at the old Pier 1 and before security became a issue, you could once walk along the top of the piers as also seen by the people in the background.

Stu, you have just dragged me back to the mid 80's with shot. I still remember spending all afternoon on them terraces watching the old Air2000 and Brittania etc traffic. Thanks for the trip down memory lane.

Thanks for the memories Stu... last time I stood on that terrace was probably about 1981 (27 years ago!) An airworthy Viscount & Trident at MAN would certainly fill up the viewing park today!
