Dodging The Downpours (MAN 28 August)

I was at work 10 miles away and did not see a drop of rain all day.
Nice pics

A few Manchester spotters moan about Manchester saying it’s boring. It is far from boring and in fact is one of the most interesting airports on the planet. There is always something unusual coming in.

Indeed! I have the annoyance of seeing all those interesting planes flying past my house but can’t get to MAN itself right now!

So where do you find out about these movements – are they on some forum or list somewhere?

Word of mouth and private email groups.

Thanks for the comments, chaps. 🙂

Nice pics. Really like the ‘mini scandi’.

2 Titans parked at MAN?! How I miss the airport 🙁

Great shot of the MD11 too! 😀

Thanks for that – I don’t think I would have stumbled across that site by accident!

Was the Lufthansa MD-11 a regular flight? I thought that had an evening slot.

Nice photos. The wet apron gives some nice reflections.

(I saw you at the corner of the Tatton Arms car park)

No you didn’t. I was the fat bloke with the sense to keep out of the rain. 🙂

I’ve known about the World MD11 for about a week, but the Lufty Cargo was an added bonus. 🙂

What a fiasco ! I turned up for the World MD-11 (I saw you at the corner of the Tatton Arms car park) then left as soon as it flew past because is started to chuck it down. I went to viewing park just to get the new Airports of the World magazine and they let me park outside the barrier for five mins. As I was paying for the magazine the Lufty Cargo MD-11F passed the viewing park 😡 and I didn’t have my camera with me 😡

I got it later taking off from the south side but missed City’s thrashing of Spurs !

The World and Lufthansa MD-11s taxied out and took off one after the other – pure theatre !

Nice shots there. Were you waiting on the MD-11 or was it luck?

TAS Manchester never seems to have info on what’s due any more.

I spent an hour or so there when it faired up this afternoon. I’ll post some pics later.
