Many still have fond memories of the restaurant
Readers have been sharing their memories of a lost Greater Manchester plane that housed a restaurant.
Sue Taylor commented: "Had a good night out in that plane great memories." John Stubley posted: "Westward ho was a brilliant place with different music played on different levels on the boat, then the plane sat in the carpark outside, great times back then." "They had loads of contacts in the military and navy and things like that because of the clientele they had, so maybe there was some kind of connection there. They bought the Comet from the MOD and they flew it on its last flight ever."
At the time, Mr Peers said: "The idea started about two months ago when we wondered whether to put a small aircraft on the site just as an attraction. We discovered we could buy the Comet which has flown practically all round the world, and thought it would not only be an attraction but useful."George's daughter, Freja Evans Swogger, 57, said she remembers seeing local TV news coverage on the Comet as a child.
In images, you can see a sign for the North Westward Ho also on the aircraft and what the plane looked like on arrival. You can also see the Comet completed with its wings and more reattached.
