Date - Saturday 14th September

Event details are confirmed for anyone wishing to attend our meetup.

Daytime

Meet will be at the Runway Visitor Park, members can arrive as early or as late as they wish. Information and directions can be found here https://www.manchesterairport.co.uk/at-the-airport/attractions/

Group Concorde Tour

14 Places are available for a 2-hour tour of G-BOAC for anyone interested at 14:00 on a first come first serve basis. Detail via the forum post linked at the bottom of this message. The cost is £40 and includes your parking at the centre for the day.

Evening Meal

Courtesy of UKV6540, We have private use of the Panoramic Lounge at the Manchester Airport pub for meals and drinks from 5:30 pm. Food must be ordered by 6 pm due to how busy the pub is and the size of the group.

Accommodation

For those staying over, a variety of options exist, many of the group I'm aware of are looking at Premier Inn Heald Green which has close rail links. I'm sure many staying over will find a local bar in a hotel or otherwise later in the evening.

Transport

We have people coming from local and afar by various means, where able to reduce vehicle footprint, I'm sure options exist and can be discussed closer to the time. Parking at Runway Park is no issue but the Airport Pub would be better to car share for those staying locally.

Communications

Aside from our forums, we have a chat group channel on the Fly UK Discord page. A WhatsApp group will be available closer to the time also for coordination
