A jubilant crowd was gathered at the Barton City Airport in Salford to welcome the arrival of a Boeing 747 to its new home. Delighted punters got the chance to be up close and personal to a piece of British aviation history as it was slowly wheeled onto the site of the airport.
Parents took pictures of their young ones in front of the plane, budding photographers and videographers hauled their various, cameras, drones and electronic trinkets to capture the moment the plane arrived while others jumped at the chance to take a peak at what it looks like inside the cockpit of the iconic Boeing 747.
