Manchester - Air and Space Gallery

On the east side of Lower Byrom Street stands the Air and Space Gallery, the home of numerous aircraft which made history, including a replica of the triple-decker Triplane 1 by A. V. Roe, which in 1909 was, with its 9 hp engine, the first British plane to go up into the sky, and a De Havilland Trident 3 B jet; other attractions include the spacesuit belonging to the astronaut Thomas Stafford and a flight simulator.
