Was this perhaps the restored Avro Vulcan on its way to Bruntingthorpe? See page 10 of today`s Daily Telegraph.

this was like a lancaster bomber heading out from the centre of manchester then banking to the left before the manchester city football ground. flying low you could hear the hum from its engines just like the old war films. i was in a car going towards manchester city centre

The BBMF Lancaster displayed at these places today (dunno if any are near Man City, my geog is awful)

Nottingham
Notts Yacht Club
Matlock
Salford Quay
Barnsley
Elvington
Hibaldstow
Woodhall Spa

Very often if you see the Lanc flanked by two planes it is a Spitfire and a Hurricane.
