Christmas lunch served beneath the wings of Concorde

Runway Visitor Park at Manchester Airport is serving up a festive treat for guests, with turkey and all the trimmings served up under the wings of Concorde Alpha Charlie.

Diners will be given the chance to tour the iconic aircraft and witness its famous nose droop as a finishing flourish to the occasion.

The nose was tilted on landing to reduce drag and achieve the best aerodynamic efficiency
