    Faaaabulous footage! Spent my childhood spotting at Manchester 1969-1971 before we migrated to Australia. Thanks so much for the upload. Have saved this for many future viewings!

    I remember that time very well. My first summer job was working in catering in the main terminal. Those 4 chandeliers were simply stunning. Sad they’re gone now. Thanks for posting

      The chandeliers are mainly in the Glass Museum at St Helens Lancs. I've seen one on display there after they left Ringway Airport. Worth seeing.

      Ringway Airport as it was then in 1975 my first destination to arrive in and I did not have passport to travel then as it was not required between our countries

    I remember Manchester airport of the late 1970s, no jetways and only stairways, mostly smaller planes (DC9s, 737s, 707s, VC10s) around the big U shaped terminal, and a strong smell of jetfuel when entering terminal

    If those shots of the Jumbo jet were taken in August 1970 when the first one landed at Ringway, then I was there that day as a five year old boy. We lived a stone's throw from the airport and my parents took me to see it. We're among the crowd on top of the walkway at 8.35.

    Manchester wasn't as busy as nowadays but what a fantastic variety of aircraft we used to have. All we get now is (apart from the A380) twin engine tubes and boring eurowhite liveries.

    In the days when the airport was run properley and without inference from management. A lesson that the present owners need to urgently learn!

      Pity none of the pilots and airport staff are protesting against all the unlawful Covid passport where you have to have a 3rd booster to fly, which actually isn't a vaccine anyway. I think that should be more important. When an airport didn't feel like a prison with CCTV cameras everywhere and having to go through a body scanner because people think that Bin Laden carried out the 9/11 attacks, if only people realised he and his 19 alleged hijackers (whom by the way couldn't even fly a small plane let alone an airliner) he responsible then they wouldn't be so willing to accept these draconian rules.

    Bring those days back! What a refreshing change it would make to the present day rude and nasty staff and shameless scams and racketeering. That's to say nothing of the que's going outside of the terminal building to check in!

      When they're not spreading trails in the sky which don't dissipate but instead form hazy skies which regular contrails don't produce lol. We still had clear blue skies back then though despite the fumes, so I wonder what's going on now.
