We have fancied going here for a while, as we had an hour or two spare this evening we wheeled the bike out and paid a visit to Manchester Airport Viewing Park!
There is a big tent housing Concorde (photo' through the window...);
Where you can pay for a tour of the aircraft.
You can watch planes land & take off
View the terminals & planes taxying
There are also a couple of aircraft you can have a look inside
It looks like a tour of the Nimrod needs prior arrangement
And a Tristar
Free entry, £3hr parking for car/bike so you can't go wrong if you are bored of the telly.
There's plenty of picnic benches & raised viewing areas, an on site restaurant and even sometimes have bits of petting farm/crocodile displays for kids - although heavens knows what that has to do with aeroplanes?!!!
All in all a pleasant pootle out
