The Monarch DC-10 at 0.26 was the only one they owned. I flew on it from Manchester to Malaga. We were supposed to be on a A320 but due to a tale rudder failure we were delayed for 6 hours so they flew the DC-10 up from Luton. Imagine the room we all had! I`ll never forget the power down the runway. The nose section is now on display at Manchester.
@@borinakoune1803 your reply with another person didn’t age very well because of you. He was talking that time before the pandemic erupted. He was right tho because of the comfort and safety. Mind your own words.
@@borinakoune1803 Completely agree. It's all a scam anyway to control people. People need to realise this and stop coming out with excuses for all this nonsense. Even pre Covid you were treated like cattle with all the body scanners which people have sadly gotten used to, radiation pumped into your body and your privacy stripped away. Now since "Covid" we are subject to Covid passports and so called tests before you're allowed to fly. Nice world we live in hey lol.
Used to go to Manchester Airport every weekend with my step Dad to watch all these in the early 90's. Can't believe how much it's changed, the Airlines, Aircraft and Terminals. Great bid and memories.
I blame point - point for this * up world we now live in. Variety has gone and do have the big birds. All we have are Airbus 320s and Boeing 737s flying on LCC or budget
So alike other airports of that time. Such a diversely rich array of airlines and different aircraft types. Now, you can count the airlines and aircraft types on one hand. Technology may have moved forward, but not necessarily for the better. It's all become so, dull! Glad i was an 80's and 90's kid.
that's the natural progression of capitalism and is the hallmark of a matured industry - it almost always ends up in a duopoly. Boeing/Airbus are the Apple/Microsoft of the skies. All the smaller ones either go by the wayside or get absorbed into the bigger companies.
My biggest issue is with Manchester now it’s the Ryan air show and once you’ve seen one 737 you’ve seen them all these planes are what I used to watch with my grandad
And before the days of live stream plane spotters there purely for subscribers and selling merchandise to make money and blagging how they've sold their photos to airline companies, the days when you to actually go to the airport to see a plane and not watch from a computer screen on youtube.
Fantastic. When air travel was at its boon, all manner of airlines and types. I remember standing on top of the multi-storey car park with my grandad. Brilliant. More please.
When airlines were airlines and aircraft were aircraft. So much variety spotting in the 90s. Lovely to see the Canada 3000 A330-200 and the L-1011 of Air Transat. Beautiful aircraft.
The amount of international airlines before in MANCHESTER airport is shocking. Today we don't have any 747s any more. Back then, they were the 737s of their day. And in MANCHESTER of all places
Dambo 84 I remember flying with Britannia from Belfast to Munich via Bristol in the mid eighties , the comfort and legroom on that flight is just unknown today , the food was served on real plates with metal cutlery ! Those were the days.
I remember being sat on an Airtours flight at Orlando Stanford waiting to depart to Birmingham in October of '98 and seeing that beauty sat next to our plane

Fun times and a lot more variety of airplanes, the 727, 747,md-80, DC-10, DC-8, L-101, they use to make airport look very elegant. Now in this era we have a bunch of wing mounted engine aircraft and they all look the same.
Fantastic footage. Didnt even know airtours flew a 747!!! Didnt delta normally operate the tristar to manchester as opposed to the Mcdonald Douglas. Seeing that Caledonian tristar brought back memories as I flew on it in 1993.
Amazing variety of aircraft and airlines back then. The Cubana Il-62 was an absolute catch! I used to cabin crew on L1011s around this time at MAN and the departures board was always so exotic.
I remember a lot of these faces from working at GLA in the 90s too so thanks for the memories! Commercial aviation these days seems so sleek but dull by comparison.
Thumbnail brought me here. Flying Colours' Boeing 757 G-FCLA was my first plane in 1997. The one in the foreground looks like G-FCLB, so the one behind the AA plane fourth in is probably it, as I think FC only flew those two 757s, certainly around this time. EDIT: Nope, I'm clearly wrong as 1:11 shows flying colours' G-FCLE, so I guess they had more planes than I thought by this point.
Who would have predicted then that Emirates, here flying a vintage A300, would become the worlds largest international airlines, flying multiple A380s into the same Airport!
I had the chance to fly Emirates in 1998/99, the only time I flew the A300 and A310. Dubai was a different world back then, with the initial terminal and bus boarding, while the new midfield terminal was under construction. Lovely memories.
@Micah Lall-Trail indeed, even Pia leased 2 of its aircrafts to emirates for her formation. First emirates flight was Dubai to Karachi, hence emirates call sign EK
Back then they did seem to be a bit more variety of aircraft and airlines, plus many holiday companies leased interesting aircraft. Man airport is still great for variety tho
I worked on catering then at Manchester catered a lot of the aircraft pictured air 2000, monarch dc10 {mca now in the viewing park the front any way} air transat, air atlanta , b cal l1011, great times great aircraft thanks
@@mark747captain well somehow i saw a B727-200 take off from MCR a couple of months back. What a glorious roar those JT8Ds make. Think it was in to be repainted by AirLivery which is based at MCR.
It was from Zimbabwe! There was only one. I was Monarch cabin crew for 15 years. I love this vid! I'm at TUI Airways now. Not quite the "Monarch Family" but it's nice.
Flew on the Peach Air L1011 to Dominican Republic when the Caledonian DC10 went tech. No in flight entertainment and a stop off at Gander to refuel. Came back on the Caledonian DC10 into Manchester. The Airtours 747 was an Air New Zealand, not sure about the whole crew but the purser on our flight was a Kiwi.
Loved the variety back then, spotting as a kid at MAN, BHX, and every european holiday destination my family went to. Nowadays its boring. I particularly like the Caledonian Tristar. Although by this time, Caledonian was terrible and at the end of it's life, pretty much.... and can remember seeing that leased Airtours 747.
The Boeing 747-400 Days when we had Asia/Pacific carriers Qantas,Cathay & Singapore all lined up at the then NEW T2 and very nearly had Thai,Malaysian & JAL joining them but for the Gulf War. In 1992 for example there was: QANTAS :with a Daily flight QF 2 London Heathrow - Bangkok - Melbourne - Sydney CATHAY PACIFIC : with CX288/260 to Hong Kong Kai Tak via Frankfurt or Paris CDG (Frankfurt swapped for Amsterdam in 1994) SINGAPORE AIRLINES via either CDG or ZRH depending on day as flight No SQ327/SQ345 and could have had THAI to Bangkok 2 or 3 x flights a week via a European Airport (AMS,FRA,MUC & CPH were possibilities) JAL with a Tokyo service probably via LHR or Europe MALAYSIA AIRLINES to Kuala Lumpur 3 x Weekly via maybe AMS,FRA,FCO & MUC all considered,however they succeeded about 6 years later with a 3 x week service via Munich with a B777 before transforming it nonstop by upgrading to a 744 in 2000.
The most notable n lovely plane, is the Tristar. I miss it.
Well, Airbus needs to Arrested because they killed the Tristar.
It was the 'whisperliner".
I never got to see it :(

I’ve went in the nose section quite a few years ago. It’s amazing how well it was looked after
The golden age of aviation......
ikr
Not really, the golden age was the 50s and 60s. Flying now is much better than it was in the late 90s, thats a fact

There was so much variety of international airlines in Manchester back then. These days it's mostly full of budget airlines.
Welcome to the NWO. Everything is *** up. I see that in Athens airport too, which used to be full of jumbo jets . Now it's budget airlines and A-320S.
I blame point - point for this * up world we now live in. Variety has gone and do have the big birds. All we have are Airbus 320s and Boeing 737s flying on LCC or budget
Love seeing all the old TriStars and DC-10s - great looking machines
MD11s too! Super quiet passenger experience with rear-mounted engines.
Couldn't agree more!

All those old liveries I remember as a child going on holiday. Especially the air tours one. Nostalgic moment for sure. Thanks
Those DC-10s...nothing like them! Excellent footage as usual!

Fabulous video! Airports are so boring nowadays. A320 and B738s everywhere. I pity the spotters of today.
Its crap now, was at Manchester today and got bored after 10 mins, went to the aviation park and you can't even go on anything.
Wow, they had a lot more DC10s back then!
Lovely captures. Certainly miss Britannia, lots of childhood memories!
737 - 200, DC 10, MD 11, Tristar.....there was a time
If only there still was such a variety in liveries and aircraft models
RIP Monarch
Britannia! Ah the memories!
Dambo 84 I remember flying with Britannia from Belfast to Munich via Bristol in the mid eighties , the comfort and legroom on that flight is just unknown today , the food was served on real plates with metal cutlery ! Those were the days.
Blimey that takes me back south side hangars no runway 2 excelent footage from an old 80's and 90's spotter great stuff almist brings a tear to my eye
The AirTours 747 at 3:27 was clearly a Air New Zealand one with the tail painted over.
I remember being sat on an Airtours flight at Orlando Stanford waiting to depart to Birmingham in October of '98 and seeing that beauty sat next to our plane
Yes they come and go ....££££££
Great footage .. seems sad too that so many have gone
This was the time I started working at MAN. Great memories, thanks Just Planes!!
My Dad was the Bar Man in the Executive Lounge in T1. He was there when 'The Great Lobster Escape' happened in the kitchen.
So incredible to see my hometown airport back then! The good old days of aviation!
love it! so many golden oldies in there.

Fantastic, so much variety - particularly love the Monarch DC-10 and Delta MD-11
How did the Miami Air 727 make it over the pond?
+Cl4rendon Miami Air did leases. Probs for Ryanair or something like that.
Much like you get Wamos Air substituting for a Norwegian Air plane or National Airlines for Primera these days.
It probably stopped in Shannon, Ireland for refuelling?
It's a great video , Love it.
Miss being young
I can remember taking a trip to Florida on air 2000 before it became first choice until that airline then retired and made way for Thomson
Fantastic footage. Didnt even know airtours flew a 747!!! Didnt delta normally operate the tristar to manchester as opposed to the Mcdonald Douglas. Seeing that Caledonian tristar brought back memories as I flew on it in 1993.
Amazing variety of aircraft and airlines back then. The Cubana Il-62 was an absolute catch! I used to cabin crew on L1011s around this time at MAN and the departures board was always so exotic.
Brilliant !
1:32 Wow you can see the tires flexing and wobbling on landing! Not the axles, just the tires!
Nice Memorials !! :)
Amazing to watch!
I had no idea Airtours had 747s!
sweet !!!!!
I wonder how many of those airlines are still flying under their own flag.
Wasn't the DC10 powerful looking plane?
Love watching your film's love going to the airport woching the plans take off and land this film brote back memories
Nice to see those DC10's. :)
Three holer heaven. It’s nice to again see the Tri-Stars, what a terrific aircraft
Yes ! the glory days of flying - unlike now.I had the pleasure of flying out to Ibiza on a Tri Star and back.Wonderful memories.
Seeing all the old aircraft made me tear. Now there is not a lot of this bad boys in the air, instead they are all retired aircraft
I remember a lot of these faces from working at GLA in the 90s too so thanks for the memories! Commercial aviation these days seems so sleek but dull by comparison.

So much variety of aircraft back then and now all you see is just ryanair and easyjet
Who would have predicted then that Emirates, here flying a vintage A300, would become the worlds largest international airlines, flying multiple A380s into the same Airport!
Did you know they all started off by leasing two planes, an A300 and a B737-300 from Pakistan international Airlines?
A310 :)
I had the chance to fly Emirates in 1998/99, the only time I flew the A300 and A310. Dubai was a different world back then, with the initial terminal and bus boarding, while the new midfield terminal was under construction. Lovely memories.
I miss the old SAS colours.
So nice to see Sabena!
L 1011's and DC 10's were beautiful planes.
I flew on that Airtours 742 leased from NZ to BGI, its was ZK-NZZ
Wow a L1011 that's super cool!
the time when PIA was better than emirates
@Micah Lall-Trail indeed, even Pia leased 2 of its aircrafts to emirates for her formation. First emirates flight was Dubai to Karachi, hence emirates call sign EK
And nowadays, PIA pilots aren't even able to fly a plane properly
Some Tupolovs as well! amazing times.
air 2000 takes me back cheap package holidays with the Family can’t beat it lol
Costa del Fish n Chips
A great Video. Manchester was a great airport with so much variety back then. Far too much EZY, FR etc now.
Flew on Brittania Airways a few times in the late 80s
Back then they did seem to be a bit more variety of aircraft and airlines, plus many holiday companies leased interesting aircraft. Man airport is still great for variety tho
A300 and A310, MD 11, Tristar, DC 10... I miss these birds.
I worked on catering then at Manchester catered a lot of the aircraft pictured air 2000, monarch dc10 {mca now in the viewing park the front any way} air transat, air atlanta , b cal l1011, great times great aircraft
thanks
Is this rob from Timperley ?
Love to see PIA....
I was half expecting to see the Wright Flyer.
Did the 727 have enough range to cross the pond? I am seeing a lot of American 727s.
T2 was the best back then
2:34 Monarch had an MD11!!!
nice!!!!!
Back when there was variety and not a sea of boring twin jets.
Totally agree pal, it's got a tad sterile but I suppose technologically we have to just accept that things move on.

What airline was that at 448 ?
Surprising to see Delta MD-11s
Nice Air Plus Comet A310
pilot696 That one was involved in an highjacking in 1991 when it is still in service with singapore airlines
What's happening at 2:47? It looks like the L1011's nose gear goes back up after touchdown.
I think it was taking off again. You see the spoilers go down
Probably a go around ?
***** A very late second go around.
Were the Monarch DC10s from BCAL?
It was from Zimbabwe! There was only one. I was Monarch cabin crew for 15 years. I love this vid! I'm at TUI Airways now. Not quite the "Monarch Family" but it's nice.
Did Cubana has regular flights back then?
Flying colours best airline I ever flown on
RIP all them 74s
What was a BA 744 doing in MAN? Was it a Pakistan flight?
Amazing how many tri-jets there used to be
So many more trijets and quadjets than there are now! Almost no A330s or 777s like there are now or have been for the past decade or so!
Flew on the Peach Air L1011 to Dominican Republic when the Caledonian DC10 went tech.
No in flight entertainment and a stop off at Gander to refuel.

@0:59 the sound of 747
All these comments and no one mentioning the Cubana Il-62 😍
The Boeing 747-400 Days when we had Asia/Pacific carriers Qantas,Cathay & Singapore all lined up at the then NEW T2 and very nearly had Thai,Malaysian & JAL joining them but for the Gulf War.
In 1992 for example there was:
QANTAS :with a Daily flight QF 2 London Heathrow - Bangkok - Melbourne - Sydney
CATHAY PACIFIC : with CX288/260 to Hong Kong Kai Tak via Frankfurt or Paris CDG (Frankfurt swapped for Amsterdam in 1994)
SINGAPORE AIRLINES via either CDG or ZRH depending on day as flight No SQ327/SQ345
and could have had
THAI to Bangkok 2 or 3 x flights a week via a European Airport (AMS,FRA,MUC & CPH were possibilities)
JAL with a Tokyo service probably via LHR or Europe
MALAYSIA AIRLINES to Kuala Lumpur 3 x Weekly via maybe AMS,FRA,FCO & MUC all considered,however they succeeded about 6 years later with a 3 x week service via Munich with a B777 before transforming it nonstop by upgrading to a 744 in 2000.
When 747 was the king of the skies
you mean queen of the skies right?
Many these airlines not around now
