Manchester - May 1981 (photo heavy)

Post by Nog59 » Mon Jun 17, 2013 7:34 pm

I was lucky enough to be taken on a behind the scenes tour of Manchester Airport on 9th May 1981.
The shots were taken on a fairly basic SLR and scanned about 10-12 years ago from 20 year old slides, so the quality is not what it could be. The 'typical' Manchester weather didn't help (as you will see). Here are a few of the more interesting types.
