New to this needing some help :)

Ged oudda here!
It will be fun when the poles flip then won’t it. We’re overdue the flip by about a 100 years. Maybe it will be like the Millennium bug. A complete lie in order to sell/upgrade/pretend to correct the computers.

Hey, I’m serious. Was it 06/24 at MAN or not?

Ooooh gawd…what have I started?!?!?!?:eek:

Pretty much new to this myself and intend on visiting Manchester Friday or Saturday this week ,Still not sure whether to goto the viewing Park or not the beer garden sounds a great spot so might head there 😉

Old Shape:

Of course with global warming, the runway designations will change more quickly, as the poles melt…:rolleyes:

Your memory isn’t playing tricks with you.

It used to be 06/24, now it’s 05/23.

I blame the French, myself. 😎

Yes it was, hence my reply which I thought made that reasonably obvious. :rolleyes:

As the magnetic poles shift, so do runway designations! 🙂

You could also try Stockport railway station for aircrft on approach to RWY 23.I used this place myself but you need to be quick as the planes are still carrying a fair bit of speed.

Off topic, but did Man. move it’s runway a bit? In the 60’s and 70’s it was 06 and 24. Or am I going mad?

Hi

Thanks for all the info everyone you have been great. I will certainly check out the banks of moss lane and may possibly bump into some of you guys.

Thanks again.

Hi there to another Manny resident. You can get some great photo’s from the mounds on the south side of the runways, south of the fire training area. The pathway is of a road call Moss Lane which goes down the parimeter. Photography is best before Noon, after that either the Aviation park which is great when they are on RWY05 or there is the end of the runway round the corner from the Airport Hotel or the beer garden of the Airport Hotel itself which is situated right at he end of RWY23R. Oh and not forgeting the top level of the multi-story carpark.

Hi Gav
Welcome aboard!
Another unbeatable resource for any ATC frequencies throughout the UK is:
http://www.lightning.org.uk/freqs.html
A good resource for all things MAN, as well as the Ringway Reports posted above, is:
http://www.tasmanchester.com/
Which has a section about spotting locations,but, i would say the AVP is the best place for spotting at MAN (but not for photography) you should see every movement clearly from it.

Hi James thanks for that frequency list.

Hi Gav,

Welcome to the forums, and for the frequencies take a look here; http://www.ringwayreports.co.uk/frequencies.htm
