Manchester Airport visitors centre

The forth location visited during my Northern Aircraft Preservation Society / The Aeroplane Collection 51st reunion weekend was the visitors centre at Ringway. The one aircarft I didn’t look at was the Concorde a sthat was inside and being used by a wedding party. Of the aircraft outside it was the Nimrod that had my attention as it was the one type I’ve worked on. I even think I may have bored the guide with my comments on the heli-telly pod and the TERMA pods under the wings.[ATTACH=CONFIG]222219[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]222220[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]222221[/ATTACH]
Its probably only me who’s bothered (Or even noticed) that the TERMA pods under wings are on the wrong side

The Trident really needs to be inside. Despite the de-humidifiers inside the fuselage it is obviously suffering from the Manchester rain.

I can’t imagine this bus being popular with visitors from London but its just as much a part of an airline passenger’s experience as is the airliner.
