MANCHESTER AIRPORT
The web pages on No 1 Parachute Training School could not have been produced without the enthusiastic support
of Paul Isherwood & Mike Hanson, Archive department Manchester (Ringway) Airport.
TATTON PARK
An exhibition entitled 'First Descent - The Parachute Pioneers of Tatton & Ringway' , was included as part
of the 60th anniversarycelebrations in 2005, and visitors who are interested in the war-time history can purchase a Trail Guide which tells the story of Tatton Park,
during the period 1940-1945 when it was used as DZ (Dropping Zone) for trainee paratroops who flew from nearby Ringway Airport.
Well worth a visit but do allow time to visit the house and stroll through the beautiful gardens of Tatton Park.
