Manchester airport is not only the gateway into the North of England for passengers but has become a hive of activity for cargo freight. Leaving for the Far East, a China Airlines 747 Jumbo cargo plane heading home.

Manchester airport, formerly Ringway, on a very busy day. Hundreds of flights arrive and depart from this airport every day. Planes taxi to their given stands for disembarking while a small private jet prepares to leave. In the background, one of the terminal buildings and high above the ever watchful eye of the control tower.

The beautiful shape of the Concorde nose cone & flight deck. Notice the reflection of the runway white lines on her belly. Also the texture of the red & blue flash above the exit door. Sadly not taking to the skies any more, how sad. Well as this photo is being added, a consortium of engineers and financial backers are trying their best to get one of the remaining Concordes flying again, good luck!

A view of Manchester Airport from under the Starboard wing of Concorde. The green panels you can see under the fuselage of Concorde are to deflect the sounds of engines being tested at the repair hangars of the airport, they deflect noise upwards and away from any area where people could be harmed by the noise. The Airport control tower can be seen in the background, the photo has been taken facing towards Manchester city some 8 miles in the distance.

The Concorde visitors centre at Manchester airport is a must for aircraft enthusiasts, not only are you close up to the most beautiful passenger aircraft ever to be built, you are very close to the main taxi ways for the runways. There are viewing areas from which you can watch and photograph the planes as they are taking off and landing and also refreshments and the car park are at close hand with toilets for the visitors to use, a great day out if the weather is fine.
