Is there an body near wythenshawe I could go flying with and to learn more about filming
Have you had a look at the members map??
Maybe worth a look 
at that, see if anyone is local to you

Give Jeff @sparkman999 a shout, he is over in Bolton and I am certain he will help you out. He is always up for a fly round. Alternatively, if you are ever over the hill in sunny 
Yorkshire, happy to meet up with you myself.
Cheers
I’m in Stockport, you’d probably have travel out of Wythenshawe nowadays to be clear of Manchester Airport. I’m just outside the radius where I live.
