The period interior of the initial Ringway terminal's interior just days after the official opening of the airport and facility. There are just two check-in counters. The nearest is for Railway Air Services and Isle of Man Air Services. The farthest is for KLM's DC-2 operation to Schiphol. The glass doors lead to a public restaurant as large as the check-in area. Obtained from Manchester Airport Archive 50 years ago.

NC19903 poses for the camera over Mount Rainier, Washington, before delivery to Pan Am in 1940. This early pressurised airliner, of which only 10 were built, was then deployed on the airline's South American routes. TWA used theirs for transcontinental services. After spending more than two decades at the Pima Air Museum, this aircraft is now preserved in the Smithsonian Udvar-Hazy Center at IAD. Obtained from PAA 60 years ago.
