The most notable n lovely plane, is the Tristar. I miss it.

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.

The golden age of aviation......

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.

Wow, they had a lot more DC10s back then!

There was so much variety of international airlines in Manchester back then. These days it's mostly full of budget airlines.

Lovely captures. Certainly miss Britannia, lots of childhood memories!

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.

Fabulous video! Airports are so boring nowadays. A320 and B738s everywhere. I pity the spotters of today.

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.

Love seeing all the old TriStars and DC-10s - great looking machines MD11s too! Super quiet passenger experience with rear-mounted engines.

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

Those DC-10s...nothing like them! Excellent footage as usual!

737 - 200, DC 10, MD 11, Tristar.....there was a time

RIP Monarch

This was the time I started working at MAN. Great memories, thanks Just Planes!!

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

If only there still was such a variety in liveries and aircraft models

0:11 Boeing 747-200 Air Atlanta 0:19 McDonnell Douglas DC-10 Continental Airlines 0:27 McDonnell Douglas MD-11 or DC-10 Monarch 0:35 McDonnell Douglas MD-11 Delta Airlines 0:43 Lockheed L1011 Tristar 0:53 Boeing 737-100 British Airways 0:59 Boeing 747-200 Pakistan Airlines

So incredible to see my hometown airport back then! The good old days of aviation!

love it! so many golden oldies in there.

All those old liveries I remember as a child going on holiday. Especially the air tours one. Nostalgic moment for sure. Thanks

Great footage .. seems sad too that so many have gone

It's a great video , Love it. 

Britannia! Ah the memories!

The AirTours 747 at 3:27 was clearly a Air New Zealand one with the tail painted over.

This pretty cool old legendary planes in one place! Love it

Fantastic, so much variety - particularly love the Monarch DC-10 and Delta MD-11

My very first flight ever, was from Manchester to New York. With British Caledonian, July 1973

Great footage from my home airport. So much variety back then.

the time when PIA was better than emirates

gr8 collection. and lotsa tri jets !

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.

How did the Miami Air 727 make it over the pond?

I wonder how many of those airlines are still flying under their own flag. Wasn't the DC10 powerful looking plane?

1:32 Wow you can see the tires flexing and wobbling on landing! Not the axles, just the tires!

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.

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.

Nice Memorials !! :)

Love watching your film's love going to the airport woching the plans take off and land this film brote back memories

Excellent close up shot to the jumbo British airways landing

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.

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

Three holer heaven. It’s nice to again see the Tri-Stars, what a terrific aircraft

Miss being young

T2 was the best back then

Brilliant !

Nice to see those DC10's. :)

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 miss the old SAS colours.

A great Video. Manchester was a great airport with so much variety back then. Far too much EZY, FR etc now.

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

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.

I had no idea Airtours had 747s!

sweet !!!!!

air 2000 takes me back cheap package holidays with the Family can’t beat it lol

Wow a L1011 that's super cool!

Back when there was variety and not a sea of boring twin jets.

Amazing to watch!

So much variety of aircraft back then and now all you see is just ryanair and easyjet

So nice to see Sabena!

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 used to work at Manchester in 1998 ear r mate wev u bin. Lol❤️❤️❤️❤️

A300 and A310, MD 11, Tristar, DC 10... I miss these birds.

Late 90s were far the best years of aviation!

Flew on Air 2000 to Crete in 1996

L 1011's and DC 10's were beautiful planes.

I was half expecting to see the Wright Flyer.

I flew on that Airtours 742 leased from NZ to BGI, its was ZK-NZZ

Love to see PIA....

Plenty tri engine jets. Emirates with A300 and 1:29 rare seeing BA 747 400 at Manchester

2:34 Monarch had an MD11!!!

0:42 1:22 2:42 5:11 5:40

Flew on Brittania Airways a few times in the late 80s

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!

went on flying colours which became thomas cook and leisure which is now under tui

Surprising to see Delta MD-11s

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

Nice Air Plus Comet A310

Flying colours best airline I ever flown on

Some Tupolovs as well! amazing times.

Amazing how many tri-jets there used to be

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.

nice!!!!!

All these comments and no one mentioning the Cubana Il-62 😍

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.

What airline was that at 448 ?

Did the 727 have enough range to cross the pond? I am seeing a lot of American 727s.

What airline is with the German flag on the tail?

Were the Monarch DC10s from BCAL?

RIP all them 74s

@0:59 the sound of 747

What's happening at 2:47? It looks like the L1011's nose gear goes back up after touchdown.

Did Cubana has regular flights back then?

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.

What happened with Ringway anyway ?

What was a BA 744 doing in MAN? Was it a Pakistan flight?

When 747 was the king of the skies

Remember the flying colours 757s well lots of flights to Tenerife
