I set off from Halifax on Sunday, January 29th for an hour or so at Manchester totally unaware that Heathrow and Gatwick were fog-bound. It was well into the day when I arrived to find lots of “heavies” and must have missed lots of the action that day. I had no binoculars and the film in my camera was about to run out!
This is one of only a few half decent picture I managed. From left to right: Continental DC10 N19072; BWIA West Indies Tristar 9Y-TGN; RAF Tristar ZE704; Lot Tu154.SP-LCH – all parked at terminal. Unidentified aircraft at tail of the Tristars; the Boeing 727 is either YU-AKG of JAT or TC-JBF of KTHY Turkish Airlines with a Continental Boeing 747 beyond (unidentifield – anyone know?). To the right, taxiing in are two 747s – BA and Air India (unidentified). Parked are BA 747 G-BDXN followed by the tail of TWA N304TW. In the foreground is a 1-11 (Dan Air G-ATPL?) and Air India 747 VT-ENQ
Not pictured but present was another TWA 747, x2 Pan Am 747s, a MEA 707, Bangladesh Biman DC10 and 707, Qantas 747, Singapore Airlines 747 and Air New Zealand 747

Thanks
Thanks to Trident Man for info on one of my pics. I use ADU database as source of info – but have updated this with your info – much appreciated.
Didn’t expect to get a log of 29/01/89 – but thanks to Paul, who was also there that day, I can now identify some of the aircraft – particularly the Continental 747 – which is N603PE – expecially nice as I had not been it before
Great to have such good information from you both

Sunning shot Terry!
Why can’t LHR and LGW be fog-bound more often! 😀
By: TRIDENT MAN - 28th October 2007 at 21:32
Hi Terry nice pics,one error:
http://civil-aircraft.fotopic.net/p41238694.html
G-AVFM was scrapped at Bristol and the cockpit section is in my mates garden in Farnborough and not in Bristol.
Hope this helps.:D

Interesting set of shots! I’m actually looking forward to the next time we get a lot of inbound diversions at MAN due to the closure of somewhere like LHR. They are usually the most exciting times for airports.
