RE: Manchester Runway Two

I go to Manhcester a lot! The Aviation viewing park is the best bet although its difficult to see departing planes. The pub at the threshold is at the end of 24R. Its ok but a bit dodgy now. You can get to it by following signs to T3 then at the mini roundabout next to The apron, turn left. Follow this road and its on the right. There is a vantage point for Runway 2. If you go through both tunnels under the runways, go all the way round the roundabout at the end, there is a large road on the left heading back under the tunnel. It says ‘do not block, for emergencies only’ but you can go up it and into a field on the right. It can get muddy, bt its great for seeing planes.
