The Cambridge Society of Cheshire and North Wales invites you to join them in a visit to see Concorde and Nimrod!

This Saturday visit is an opportunity to bring the family along to experience a little of the world of luxury air travel. The park is home to a variety of retired planes, including the spectacular supersonic airliner Concorde G-BOAC, and former RAF military spy plane, Nimrod: we are having a guided tour of each of these aircraft.

The Runway Visitor Park is one of the North West's most popular outdoor attractions. Adjacent to the busy runways of Manchester Airport, the park’s raised viewing area means you can stand close to the planes as they travel past. At the park there is also a DC-10, Avro RJX and a retro Trident airliner, offering a glimpse of what flying was like in the 1960s and 1970s. There is a café on site with excellent views of the runway where you may wish to purchase refreshments. There are also picnic tables for your own food and a children’s play area.
