ADAPS trip out to City Airport (Barton Airfield)
Posted: Fri Sep 03, 2021 9:50 am
An ADAPS trip out has been organised for this Saturday, 4 September, at City Airport (formerly known as Barton Airfield). We are meeting up at 11am, I suggest you turn left as you enter the site, and drive as far as you can – this is the less crowded area. The address is Liverpool Road, Eccles, Manchester, M30 7SA.
There’s lots to photograph – last time I went I saw flights of helicopters, gyrocopters, microlights, and light aircraft. Parking is free – plenty of space, and there is a café and a bar (Sopwith Bar & Grill ), and picnic tables for those who want to take their own picnic.
A telephoto lens recommended as well as your shorter lenses. See you there !
