EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph taken in the late 1980s at Manchester Airport, then known as Ringway, showcases an intriguing scene of plane spotters gathered on the terraces. The terraces, a popular spot for aviation enthusiasts, were located near the runway, offering an unobstructed view of the bustling airport activity. The photograph captures the excitement and anticipation of the plane spotters as they observe the movements of various aircraft, their eyes fixed on the horizon. The image transports us back to the 1980s, a time when air travel was still a novelty for many, and the thrill of spotting a new plane or airline livery was a source of great joy and fascination. The plane spotters, dressed in coats and hats, huddle together, sharing stories and knowledge, creating a sense of community and camaraderie. The photograph also provides a glimpse into the everyday life of the North during the 1980s, with the grey skies and Martin Street in the background, reminding us of the industrial and working-class roots of the region. The scene is a testament to the social significance of plane spotting, an activity that brought people together, transcending age, gender, and social class. This photograph by an unknown photographer is a treasure trove of history, transporting us back to a time when the simple joy of watching planes take off and land was a source of endless fascination and excitement.
