On sunday I met up with my mate Jonny and saw some intresting things including PIA B747 & PIA B777 in new colours, Delta airlines B767 in old colours, Maersk air B737 in old blue colours, Monarch A300 in old colours,[we were hoping for new colours but it was the old one!] 😡 Anyway, only a couple of photos, here they are:
:oops! sorry, some of the pics arent from sunday!: 😮

Lovely pictures Matt, loving the first BA one!!

That’s the very place, Matt.
You can easily photograph aircraft on the “T3” gates from there.
Like this…..

Ah right wasn’t getting @ you or anything, just wondered. Look forward to more.:)

I took them from the area where all the cafe’s are through a window, thanks for all your great comments!!

Yeah have to agree.Taken by food court in T1 of T3 gates.
By: LBARULES - 11th June 2004 at 18:52
Look on the Manchester Airport website, VLM definitly operate from T3. If you can see T3 gates from T1 then thats where he must have got them from.
By: Grey Area - 11th June 2004 at 18:51
I’m sorry, but VLM and Air Southwest operate from the “T3” gates across the front of T1 below the Food Court.
C’mon, Matt!!!
By: LBARULES - 11th June 2004 at 18:46
Air Southwest and VLM both operate from Terminal 3…. Come on Matt, put us out of our misery!
By: Grey Area - 11th June 2004 at 18:42
Actually, LBARules, I strongly suspect that they were taken from the inside of T1 – in the seating area near the Food Court.
Am I right, MANAIRPORTMAD??? 😎

They’re not airside shots, LBARules. There are some splendid vantage points for photography at MAN, and the boy seems to be finding them for himself.
Nice shots, by the way……… 😀
It’s the same one 99% of the time, Shamrock, only varying when G-BNWH is broken or undergoing servicing. Something to do with the seating configuration, I understand.
We do get the occasional “mainline” 767 on the LHR Shuttle, though.
I know Manchester has may great vantage points, (I go often myself), but the VLM and Air Southwest look as if they are definitly taken airside as they are parked at the gate,

MAN looks to have great spotting opporunities. Can anyone direct me to go as I hope to go soon. Thanks.

Is the BA 767 that operates to JFK from MAN the same one all the tme or does that one get a go at LHR?
By: LBARULES - 11th June 2004 at 15:27
Great photos, how did you get those airside photos?
