Hi all,
This really was quite a different day! Got up at 4:00 am to get to MAN as early as poss. Pulled into MAN airport station and watched a BA 737 approach – clear blue skies and some great water vapour! Then got out of the station and were met with dense fog – myself, Adam Dowley and Sam McCrimmon were not impressed to say the least.:mad: 😮 🙁
Went to the AVP and saw Concorde, but when we got to the other side of the AVP it was no longer visible; that’s how bad it was:confused: . Then decided to go to the T1 cafe and watched the apron – i then decided to listen into ATC out of boredom and to our surprise we heard that there had been a hydraulics leak closing the runway for 20 mins!!!:eek: it was exciting to hear the controller trying to sort the aircraft holding stack out!
Finally the sun appeared, and we got to rotation point on 24L at about 3:00 pm for the opening of the runway, and got some good sundown shots!
Enjoy!!:D 🙂 😀
