A nice morning @ MAN, with some nice traffic !

Today we had nice weather, and a few nice movements meant the morning had to be spent on the 23R mound. Here are the more interesting movements seen...



The new Monarch scheme A300 departing on its second flight out of MAN, did not turn out too bad considering it went short!


Aerosvit B737-500 parked up after bringing in Kiev for a match against Stoke.


UNICEF Special Norwegian B737-300 LN-KKW arriving and departing in some nice light...


Dniproavia arriving with Kiev fans on for tomorrows game against Stoke.

And a few regulars in nice light...

A few from my collection..

As I had nothing to do today, I thought I'd look back at my Digital photo collection, which started back in 2006 when I switched from film...

I have included a few photos (MD-11s), and I hope to make a page of my older photos of my favourite aircraft types when time allows....

A nice over flight....

This afternoon N787BX, a Boeing 787 Dreamliner overflew Manchester, enroute from Dubai to Shannon... I took a few snaps of it, as it was the first full scheme B787 I had seen....

This was not the first time I have photographed this aircraft, as I caught it at Farnburough Airshow last year, wearing the basic scheme... (See this in Trips 2010).

Wideroe @ MAN

After having gone up for the Wideroe yesterday arriving in very bad weather (on a football charter) and the the forecast for today being sunny, I ventured up once again for a departure shot !! After going just over an hour late, it was well worth the wait !! (Not sure my Mum would agree though !)

Today we were lucky enough that the special Lufthansa Cargo MD-11, D-ALCC visited on the morning flight from New York to Frankfurt. Although the weather wasn't great, we still got the sun on this one !
