"To the best of my knowledge this photo was taken by me on 4/3/1959 from the boundary of what was Ringway Airport, now Manchester International Airport. I had cycled there with school friends to go plane spotting and it was our habit to climb through the hedge from the road. On hearing a car approach I looked up and seized the instant to take a photo with my 'Luxette' 127 camera. This is the result, the present owner of the Bentley may be interested."
