They must have changed direction as they were on 06L/R when I got there for my tour of Concorde. It looks like you missed the Air Memphis 320 that was in yesterday afternoon.

What time does it depart then because it was definately on its way OUT of manchester. I do agree though the weather was a bit naff, just wouldn’t make its mind up all day.
A sense of time was lost on me.
Don’t drink kids, its not big and not clever 😀

Great shots.
I was playing hockey all weekend just down the road in Bowdon and watched all of the Manchester departures whizz over my head :D.
What variant was the PIA 777. I was trying to work it out at the time but:
1.) I was hungover
2.) I was on my way to being drunk again
3.) I was suffering in the heat/lack of water
4.) I was supposedly meant to be playing hockey.
It had raked wingtips, thats all I noticed.

The 757-300 is a lot like the 777-300 and the A340-600. All look ridiculously long. :p
By: Craigston_Tom - 25th June 2006 at 15:41
Brilliant photos. I really like the first one – the B757-300. Although I’ve never flown on a -300, only flown on the -200 series.
