Spent another unexpecte day down at Manchester, weather was very very good, and for the first time I was able to venture southside, albeit for only an hour before the runway closed. The wind in that field though 😮
As ever these days the pics are straight from the camera and only edited for size as I still cant get hold of a copy of photoshop :rolleyes:
Cathay 742:

Lufthansa CRJ700:

Eurowings CRJ200:

The new bmi ERJ in Excel colours:

BA Connect Dash 8:

And from the AVP, Thomsonfly B733. I flew this when she was with Ryanair as G-BZZI STN-PIK-STN in 2003:

This bmi 321 overran the runway at Belfast City last night. Clearly no damage done as shes back in service today:

Another slanderous Ryanair 738!

Dragonair 743 lifts off very early for the short hop to Amsterdam:

B-18717 arriving on 24R:

A6-EBH rolling down 24R just before lifting off for Dubai, passing all the GA aircraft:

Great pics but that thomsonfly 737 looked a bit taty and out of shape i think it looked a bit better when in ryanair colurs
I REALLY do not agree, it looked a mess before:

Excellent shots as ever Mark, would imagine I will finally get round the southside in the next couple of months, when I get insured on the car!
