Manchester airport to host one-night only gala to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the final Concorde flight..
Manchester Airport is celebrating the 20th anniversary of the final Concorde flight to depart the Northern hub with a lavish black-tie banquet-style dinner at its Runway Visitor Park.
On 24th October 2003, British Airways withdrew Concorde, bringing to a close the worlds only supersonic passenger service. To Commemorate this and G-BOAC arrival in Manchester the airport will be hosting a one-night only Gala dinner.
The ticketed event scheduled for 27 October will allow guests to enjoy a Gala dinner hosted under the wings of the iconic aircraft.
The evening will start with a drinks reception in the Concorde hangar before guests are seated for a four-course meal with live performances from the sensational Soprano vocalist Gemma Ashley. Guests will also hear from former Concorde pilot, Captain John Tye, and Concorde’s most frequent flyer, Fred Finn. The evening will then be rounded off with an opportunity to board the famous aircraft along with a demonstration of Concorde’s famous nose droop.
Tickets for the special event are priced at £90 (about $112) and can be purchased online by the general public via the RVP website.
