'How Manchester Looks Today: a survey of the great Northern city, a birthplace of atomic research, a home of the arts, a city which has played and still plays a might part in the world of affairs'. The Sphere, 14 March 1953   Look at the 'Manchester Airways Terminal in the city centre'. Manchester 'now has airports at Ringway and Barton. Ringway is at present being extended'.
