The Vimy replica is pushed into position for an engine run before it returned to the south of England. It visited Ringway as part of the 50th anniversary of Alcock & Brown's transatlantic flight. Both men had strong links to Manchester. This photo is copyright © R.A.Scholefield, and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
