MANCHESTER Airport viewing park

You lads should consider yourselves very luck having a viewing park ..most major airports around the world don’t seem to cater for the enthusiasts these days

1L, perhaps if it’s the shape of a Concorde, it might well be Concorde?

Very witty David.

To the others, thank you, especially Ian for the photo.
Looks like a lot of work went into that, but I don’t think it’ll fly.

efiste2, your best bet will be any morning – though the mainland Chinese 747 freighters tend to be early evening/nighttime. Currently, you shoud see: American = 1 x 767, 1 x757, Delta = 2 x 767, British Midland = 2 X A330, British Airways = 1 x 767, Singapore Airlines = 1 x 777 (not daily yet though), Etihad = 1 x A330 (until winter when they split operations to 4 morning 3 evenings), Qatar Airways = 1 x A330 (they have split operations per Etihad’s plans), Emirates = 1 x 777. Freighter = Cathay Pacific = 2 x 747 most days. Charter fleets vary, but generally 2 First Choice 767, 3 or 4 Thomsonfly 767, 1 Thomas Cook A330.

Don’t forget the US Airways A330, the Virgin 747s and the Travel City Direct 747s!

Ahhh… so that’s why we had such a lousy summer then. 😎

Edward Woodward (the wicker man) will be on it if it gets torched!!:D

Are they going to burn die-cast Concorde models in it as a sacrifice to the Gods to get a Concorde back in the air? :diablo:

Here we go…

I saw what appeared to be a small framework in the shape of Concorde but I couldn’t quite make it out. Can anyone enlighten me please?

I can enlighten you,it is a wicker Concorde and was put in place through the airport’s enviromental department for a year.It really is very good imho,hope this helps.:D

Another question for the MAN guys if I may efiste2.

When I landed the other day I saw what appeared to be a small framework in the shape of Concorde but I couldn’t quite make it out. Can anyone enlighten me please?

When I was there a couple of weeks ago there was an apparently wicker Concorde on display next to the real one… I may have a picture of it somewhere…
