    Wonderful memories! I've got some photos of a visit in 99' and there was 1-11's, a 154, DC10, MD88, A300 etc.
    I visited last week and it was literally 737-800's and A320's. The most interesting type to see is the A380 but that's about it.

    1-11 bad boys stole the show here ! Flying in these, especially at the rear, felt like being fired from a cannon !

    Great video.
    I'm a spotter from Munich, Germany and was in Manchester, too.
    It's a great airport, I was there, too.
    A lot of memories, with the 1-11 or DC 9.
    Wish these times back!

    BAC 1-11s are the loudest aircraft I've ever seen taking off. They're probably no larger than the DC-9s or the MD-80s, but they take off like rockets. Extremely deafening.
    I miss them though.

      I wished it was like this these days, I now find aeroplane spotting is rather boring these days there was so much variation of aircraft not like today most of the aircraft today comprises mainly Airbus and 737,not forgetting the fabulous Boeing 757 which has to be my favourite aircraft of all time

    Hi John. Amazing. I remember the old hangers on the south side before the second runway but the hangers (where I assume T3 is now) are a revelation. Don't remember but I would seen them at the time. Great to see old airlines and aircraft types including my favourite Lockheed Tri-Star's. Amazing how less build up it was around the airport then. Had forgotten that also.

    I like the uniqueness of the BAC 1-11. Philippine Airlines used to have such from the 60s until the late 80s for it's domestic flights, most especially to the cities of Cebu and Davao.

  • @dippin1523
    @dippin1523 Год назад

    great video. probably the best time to be plane spotting. Bac 1-11's, 727's. The Bac 1-11 was the best sounding and coolest commercial aircraft other than the Vickers VC-10 Love the smoke and the sounds. Brings back great memories. 737's with the loud engines, DC-9's, L 1011's. Beautiful. The live plane spotters of today should check this out. This is the sh**!!!

    • @johnwood57
      @johnwood57  Год назад

    Very fond childhood memories with my father that used to drive me over from West Yorkshire for a days outing during the school hols, it was my favourite place. Whilst my friends would get dragged off to the coast or an amusement park somewhere I much preferred this outing. The types of aircraft and liveries were also a good mix with the array of charter and scheduled airlines. I think the 727 was loudest out of the western built planes followed by 1.11. You could always feel the vibrations from the engines going through you as they thrusted up. And with that lovely smell of kerosine in the air.

    • @Michalis2m

      Funny how people like yourself and myself (i grew up with family Sunday trips to the local airport in the 70s) find the smell of kerosine so soothing and pleasant 😊. Most people may think we’re crazy 😂

      Will Brown bac 1-11 with its speys I believe were louder than the jt8d's in the dc-9 727 737-200. Though they were all very loud the bac-1-11 here was loud even with its hush kits. Though not shown here the hawker tridents with 3 spey engines were the loudest jet in my opinion. Only rivaled by the Concorde and other afterburning fighter jets.
