Step back in time with this exclusive Air Manchester vintage aviation t-shirt, featuring the iconic "Pride of the North" branding that once soared through British skies. Air Manchester burst onto the aviation scene in April 1982 with high hopes and grand ambitions to serve the North of England, but operated for only three months before being sold, making it one of Britain's most short-lived commercial carriers. Starting operations with a single BAC One-Eleven Series 416, the airline's operations ceased in September 1982 when the aircraft was sold to British Air Ferries.
Despite its brief existence, Air Manchester represented the entrepreneurial spirit of early 1980s aviation, when deregulation opened doors for new carriers to challenge established airlines. The airline's rapid rise and fall became part of aviation folklore, making this vintage logo a coveted piece of airline memorabilia for collectors and aviation enthusiasts.
