The beginnings of Manchester Airport are found in the Alexandria Park Aerodome which saw its first civil flight in 1919. It survived only until 1924 when the expanding air traffic found temporary residence at Wythenshaw until moving to a permanent site at Barton Moss in 1930. Barton also proved too small for the thriving airfield so the airport moved again in 1938 to its present site at Ringway.
