Cup Final Saturday At Manchester

liverpool players have just left for istanbul on a titan 757 in old colours.

Great shots mate.

We should be setting off from MAN at about 04:00 – 04:30, EGNM.

I think we’re going to the mound near the Flying Club.

As of present no 747s are due to op from LPL. Several A330s and A300s are planned, but the B747s are operating from Manchester (where they are based). I think theres 58 flights from the NW in total.

I shall indeed be off to Liverpool at some ungodly hour of Wednesday morning, Tom.

Grey, what “ungodly hour” on Weds will you be at the Pool?

Ste

Great shots. Nice to see the Air Greenland A330

I’ve just seen the Air Greenland A330 come in again, does anyone know when it will be departing?

Thanks very much, chaps. 🙂

Great collection there Grey Area, good to see some MAN approach ones in there too. Fingers crossed the Air Berlin dreamliner may be around STN later.

Grand shots

Great pictures Grey

Of course LPL can handle 747s EAL, has done before, I dont think they would be using it if it couldnt handle it!

can liverpool handle a 747 as in the paper everyone who works for liverpool fc like stewards cooks ticket office people have been given free tickets and flight to istanbul for the game and it said they would be flying out of liverpool early wednesday morning and coming back the following day.

LARGE TURKEY TREAT FOR KOP STAFF
By Brendon Williams
GENEROUS Liverpool bosses have chartered a private plane to fly every member of staff to Istanbul for Wednesday’s Champions League final.
Club executives are splashing out tens of thousands of pounds to hire a jumbo jet and fly 233 workers to Turkey as a reward for Liverpool reaching the final.
Every full-time staff member, ranging from stewards to canteen cooks, is being given a ticket to the match – which are currently selling on the internet for hundreds of pounds.
One excited steward said: “This is a lovely gesture and means an awful lot to all the staff. I couldn’t believe it when I found out we could go to the final. Everyone’s so excited. It must have cost the club a fortune.
“It just goes to show that Liverpool is a friendly club where everyone is like a big family.”
The entire Reds workforce will jet off early on Wednesday morning from Speke Airport, and five coaches are being hired to transport them to and from the stadium, where they will watch the team take on AC Milan.
They will then fly back to Liverpool early the following day.
A Liverpool FC spokeswoman refused to say whose idea it was to reward the staff, but chief executive Rick Parry is thought to be behind the generous jaunt.

lol – still means your theory of it been dark is wrong 😉

Yes, but my eyes will still be shut……. 😀

It will be light by 5…..

I should be setting off at about 04:00 on Wednesday morning – the times of the football flights are a bit “challenging” to say the least. 🙂

It’ll be dark, Tom. 😀

And it was Elgan, wasn’t it? Sorry…..

When are you going? Are you even going for the planes?

Great shots there
