MAN pics 25/08/2004

What was ment to be a quick pop down to MAN viewing park on Wednesday turned into 3 hours at the viewing park. As my mum is not into planes at all she decided to stay in the car and listen to the radio whilst i stood in the pouring rain taking photos, as my mum had the radio on for along time the battery in the car run down not only did this happen but a thunder storm just had to start so we were left stranded at my mums worst nightmare (the viewing park) for more than 3 hours. Any way here are the pics i got:

Your last FCA Pic is very nice! Also well done to catch the beacons on two of the aircraft in your pics – double beacon on the PIA 777!

Thanks, the PIA 1 is my best of the day but its a shame about the quality!

I assume pilots will probably go onto A330 fleet then? MYT are happy with their A330s and are looking to get more is what I have been hearing recently from over 5 seperate sources.

Since when did My Travel start reusing DC-10s!!!!!!!!!

They didn’t actually stop using them. G-BYDA remained in service when the others retired.

Great ones, specially the PIA ones. However I have to say that new livery is quite dull, boring and insipid. I see that Ryanair still operates the old B737-200.

Thanks for the photo-fest! 😀 Lovely weather :rolleyes: Seems to be a lot of standing water in a few pics, especially the one with G-LEAR.
