Manchester UK VFR objects

Featured Replies

Hi, does anyone know of where I could find key landmarks around the Manchester/NW England area, which are key when flying VFR out of Manchester or Barton airport such as the Trafford centre, Chill factore, Beetham tower etc. I saw a UK2000 thread of someone working on them but don’t have a link as to where I could download them

thanks

I found some freeware sceneries for Barton Bridge, Jodrell Bank and Winter Hill transmission tower (a bit further out but still relatively local). The telescopes at Jodrell aren't too good, but at least they're useful as a landmark.

The above website might be worth a search too.

EDIT Unfortunately, the landmarks are thin on the ground (pun intended) for our part of the world..
