My BRILL trip to Manchester airport.

Hi everyone!
Went to manchester airport today!Just to let anyone know yes concorde is there looking as good as ever,the visiting dates where you can go on the plane will be on my site soon and it will cost £10 per person. The aviation shop is 2x bigger which is great!Lot’s more new things in!More people working there!
The monarch nosecone is getting the new monarch design put on it for the future monarch classroom!Saw my 1st PIA B777,my 1st Tyrolean F100 and many more!The man was talking about concorde and it turns out they had trouble getting it in as it got stuck for an hour and was very worrying!The viewing area has been made higher and larger and it all looks brill!I did take photos but I don’t know how to put them on!Sorry!

Yep the 3rd A332 was operated to the Falklands i think, but it was leased to SAS in 2001, and leased to SAA in 2002/3. Back now, for good!

P.S does anyone know what has happened wo G-WWBC?? It’s in my 2004 Reg book.??:(

All I can say is:[this is only what I’ve heard!]
It said star alliance on it after a lease from an african company.
-Try and think of which big african company who use A330s are with star alliance?-
It had star alliance on it with ‘bmi’ underneath.that’s all!
Sorry!}
