I recall those chandiliers in the 70s

creepy music 🤣

I'd like to bury whoever commissioned this music under Manchester Airport. What was the director thinking 😂

Thanks so much for sharing this. It's just how I remember it and a thousand times better than it is today sadly.

I live in Scotland now but having filmed this myself I do watch time and time again and reminise 😊

I remember flying from Manchester in 1986 to Majorca. It was with Britannia Airways. Terminal 1 seemed much more relaxed back then. It's a nostalgic place because it reminds me of all the flights I've been on since the 80s

This a treasure. I went there as a lad in the 70’s to watch the planes and then worked there in the mid 90’s I’ve forgotten how much the airport has changed! Thank you for sharing this video.

Great video. Had to watch in silence though as the music is dreadful ! Loved the terraces

I remember I was first time flight Manchester (MAN) to via London Heathrow LHR to Detroit (DTW) by July 1985.

I spent so much time on the terraces in the late 70s and early 80s. I was devastated when thay closed them to the public..

@6:18 - I used to work at the airport a couple of years ago, cleaning the planes -this is where our base was. The various trucks/vans were used for replenishing the plane's water tanks for sinks/toilets, delivering fresh blankets/cushions and taking away the used ones, disposing of rubbish, etc. The transit van was probably used for transporting the cleaning crew and equipment to the plane.

The courtesy buses transport the staff to and from the terminals.

It's truly amazing how things change, the airfield looks so quiet compared to now, I think in 1985 the airport handled around 8-10 million passengers, now it's around 29million.

I LOVE this film.

So strange seeing T2 not being there and the surrounding buildings, it just shows how much has changed in 35 years... Thank you for sharing, makes me wonder what it was like...

Just me who finds the music creepy

This is ace

So miss the 80s and loved this airport back then. Thanks for the memories on sharing this fine little gem.

Do they still have public viewing terraces? I thought they'd closed them due to the ongoing threat of terrorism.

The first flight from the airport was in 1929? Who were the pilots? The Wright brothers??

Superb! I was a regular visitor to the airport in the early 80s as a young lad. Lost all my photos, didn't think I'd ever find such good images of the old spectators' viewing area. Wonderful stuff...thanks for posting!

Excellent. Brought back a lot of memories! Plus the only footage I've seen of the old car park moving ramps :) loved them as a kid. Thank you.

Oh good god.
