Mainly F70s? Only midweek during quieter periods, plus on the normal mid-afternoon rotation, otherzise t’is usually F100s!
I seem to have been seeing them a bit more often, as you say on the afternoon flights, and on Wednesday they was one operating the morning flight.
This fits what you say though, so I am just talking rubbish!

I captured it at 06R Touchdown at 10:18am apparently but I don’t know if my clock on my camera is right…
Nice pics Matt!
That early, huh. As i mentioned i saw one on final approach at about 5.00pm ish. Is it BA that operates them. It seems that they fly regularly

KLM seem to vary what they use on the MAN services, i’ve seen F70s,F100s,733s,734s,738s, think it must depend on demand in the same way AF use all sorts (318s,319s,320s,321s,145s,735s,).
LBA now seems to be mainly F70s these days, saw one operating the morning flight on Wednesday which is normally an F100.
Maybe both these services are suffering because of Jet2? They operate 3 daily AMS from MAN, and two daily AMS from LBA.

KLM have also been known to drop a B739 into MAN, as well as often using Transavia aircraft for their scheduled flights.

Hey, MANAIRPORTMAD. Nice shots. I would have gone since i only live in Cheadle Hulme but had things to do. Looks like it was a great day.
P.S. What time did that Titan BAe 146-300 arrive? I think i saw one similar on final approach late afternoon. Do they fly regularly?

My camera is a Megapix AX480, it has 4 x digital zoom and has 8 x Optical zoom.

Just out of curiosity, what type of camera, make and model do you have?

I’m afraid I don’t know what time it arrived, it operated for British Airways today I think.
