Manchester – 30th July 2011 – What's unusual about this line-up ?

Manchester spotters should know this one fairly easily…..

Manchester only gets one daily US Airways A330 flight. I think the other one went “tech” the day before and it was towed to the stand this morning before the usual one departed.

Horribly tech, with a hydraulic leak. It was fixed just as the aircrew went out of hours.

Interesting that the 330 in the foreground has virtually all the cabin blinds down.

Well that is one more piece of aviation information that is now in my brain! There is quite enough of it already, taking up limited real estate! Thanks for nothing, boys!

Also, it appears that all the aircraft in the photo have winglets. Even the 77L, with its raked winglet. 😉

I am guessing the nearest A330 and the next A330 in the line up?

Is it anything to do with that Delta, the other side of the Virgin ’74?
