Hi all,
managed to get over to MAN on the 29th on my way to LPL for the day – wow, what an impressive display!!!!
As well as all the usual stuff lined up at the terminal there were masses of diverts!! The initial attention was drawn to the 2 RAF Tristars from Brize ZD250/1 and the 2 VC-10s (ZD950 and XV105) that were sat on the pan.
Other stars included the HUY diverted Icelandair B752 TF-FIG, and the masses of BHX diverts – Duo CRJs G-DUOA/D (i don’t log c/ns so these are classed as new even though i had seen 1 when it flew for Maersk), B752 N12114 of CO, AP-BDZ PIA A310, and masses of BRT stuff that wasn’t MAN based so i certainly managed to fill in a few gaps on the 146 fleet and finished off the DHC-8s which i was quite please at before there imminent retirement!. The highlight for most though was the 2 week old EC-ITN! Excellent!

hi Mark,
yep i know what you mean with the RJ100s – its just for my UK fleets anything that you can buy published is usually out of date by the time it reasches the shelves of the shops so i print the pages off of Jethros where they are combined as the BA 146 fleet pages. Unfortunatly i still need a fair few of the newer RJ100s of the BRT fleet 🙁
Also just seemed a bit confused by you first statement of the weather today – this was Thursdays not todays for ya!

Sounds nice EGNM, didn’t realise the wx was so bad up north today! Just FYI BRT RJ100s (As BHX has no 146s) rotate around the 3 bases as do the ERJ145s around their 5 bases and the DHC 8s around their 2 (At least last time I checked :rolleyes: )
