Confused Weather At MAN! 11-5-08

Excellent stuff Paul.
And good dedication to the cause!!!:eek:
Whats with the Monarch?? new c/s, back from a lease??

Nice shoot Paul! Like the last shot in the rain – TCX 330 head on is nice too.

Nice to see G-TTOC too 😉 lol

What’s this rain that you talk about? Heald Green didn’t see any of it!

Funny you should say that! We had the scanner tuned to the ATIS and it said “runway WET WET WET”. The three of us looked at each other puzzled, as we were stood there in blazing sunshine. Minutes later we heard thunder and started to hear huge raindrops falling around us… Then we started to feel huge raindrops… Then it absolutely chucked it down and within less than a minute we were pretty damned wet! By the time we arrived at the car (which was parked a mere 5 or 6 minutes walk away) the rain had not only stopped but it became clear it hadn’t rained there at all. The floor was perfectly dry, despite the soaking we’d just had only a few hundred meters away.

Weird place, Manchester airport!

Thanks for your comments so far, guys!

Also, that US Airways 330 was frighteningly late. Better be on time when I’m flying out on it!

Oh, and the photos are absolutely fantastic, Paul. :p

Nice selection Paul 🙂 , nice to see a 762 still floating around…..:cool:

Thanks for driving, Benny, and thanks for the loan of the lens, Mr Hamster!

Thanks everyone else for looking! 🙂
