The Emirates was arriving.

MAN was on 06s that day. 😀

Belated thanks for the comments chaps. 🙂

I’ve spotted the flaws in my original argument. Oops. I always find Manchester a confusing airport especially as the taxi chart I always use is not oriented to North as all the others I use are. The same is true for almost all maps and diagrams of the airport you find which are all 180 degrees out.
