Fantastic shot of a Volga Dnepr IL-76 at Manchester !!!

I heard a rumour we were getting this in Manchester on Sunday.

I tracked it on Flightradar24 and drove to the Tatton Arms car park in readiness for some great moody shots of the beast emerging from the fog !

Airband scanner picked it up on finals and I got into position ready for the shot……

Wait for it….

Try to contain your excitement…..

scroll down to see what is surely the best picture of all time…..

Watched it on flightradar24 as it turned around and flew to Prestwick instead!

Hee hee – found out later it diverted. So I didn’t even hear it !!!
