1st visit of Travellers Welcome & Brussels Q400 @ MAN

We know how lovely the weather’s been today, me and Rob made the most of it and saw some special planes at Manchester. Here are the highlights:

Done many flights in the BAE Kingairs from Barrow, most of them unexciting but had a few that were more fun
Landing at Filton in a crosswind and getting a good view down the runway as the plane slid in sideways was one of them
an engine refusing to start once and then when it did 2nd time the resulting flames from the exhausts of the unburnt fuel from the 1st attempt
just to name a couple
oh yes and one day during descent past Blackpool a Typhoon popped up along side us, and then dipped underneath to the port side before igniting his burners and shoot off towards the Ilse of Man

I hate to be the bearer of bad news but they towed the Etihad aircraft round to just in front of the viewing park so that everybody could get a good look at it later.

Nice pics Matt.

The Brussels Q400 is actually one of ours at Flybe. Two are off to Brussels literally I as type to operate a Wet Lease operation for them for two years. The two Q400s will be operated on the Flybe AOC and crewed by Flybe flight & cabin crew.
