A couple of visits today between jobs. The Jet2 B757 was a diversion due to a faulty windshield. The last pic shows a rare 23L arrival, due to a problem with 23R.

Nice pics!
Tell me, one of you Ringway lads……the Runway used to be 06/24. Did they move it a tad, making 23?
On 7 June 2007, at 00:00 UTC (01:00 BST), Manchester Airport’s runway assignments were changed in relation to the magnetic compass bearings. The previous headings for the runways were 056° and 236° with assignments 06L/24R and 06R/24L respectively. The new headings for the runways are 054° and 234° with new assignments of 05L/23R and 05R/23L respectively. The signs located on taxiways and entrances to the runway were changed on the evening of the 6th June, 2007.[21] The runway designators changed at the same time.

What lens did you use for the EK 380?
Canon 75-300 IS. Apart from the standard lens you get with the camera, its the only one I’ve got.

Well I’m happy to see at least someone had some sun today. That certainly wasn’t the case at LBA!
Some very nice shots there, Cloudwarrior. Thanks for sharing. 🙂

So that explains why the LS518 TFS-NCL is delayed.
I know the last shot shoes AD on the taxi way but i am unfamilar with MAN it could be taxying to stand as far as i know! Did the Aircraft continue onto TFS once the problem was fixed or is it still at MAN?
