I see a Thomas Cook B753 every Saturday afternoon when I’m there…
By: aiuk - 23rd July 2005 at 20:19
I did.. and looks like they are all the scheduled flights, instead of the charters. Oh well… perhaps I’ll just be lucky. LOL

Hard to say…..I have to admit that they “fade into the background”. 🙂
Did you look in the “scheduled” section too?
By: aiuk - 23rd July 2005 at 18:19
Thanks for that…
Looks like it lists mostly unusual visitors and ad hoc charters. What are my chances of seeing the TCX 753 in an afternoon at MAN?

I don’t know of such a site, to be honest.
Have a look through the “Movements” tab in here. That should give you an idea of what’s what.
And you ask all the questions you want… the only truly stupid questions are the ones that we don’t ask. 🙂

Cool!!
Looks like I will come up some time soon… and hopefully get a few aircraft I want for the website… is there a good on line scource to find out what aircraft operates which flights… eg – which TCX flight will be the B757-300?? Hope youdont mind me asking so many questions!! lol

You can walk there from T3 in about 10-15 minutes.
Buses 19A, 44, 45, and 369 from The Station all stop across the road from the pub – ask the driver for the Airport Hotel or “the APH”.
Any time from about 14:30 onwards is just grand…… 🙂

Following on from the Bristol thread…. can I walk to the Airport Hotel pub garden!! LOL If I can, when’s be best time to go there for sunlight ect. Thanks!!

Well since when did IT ever stick to Mon-Fri 0900-1700?
Since they introduced a callout payment for “out-of-hours” emergencies. 😉 :D:D:D:D

A-ha!!! The infamous beer garden huh Lance? Now I know that would have been out of work hours huh? LOL!
By: Grey Area - 17th July 2005 at 12:31
Thanks very much, everyone. 🙂
Chris – all except for the HLX Fokker 100 were taken from the beer garden at the back of the semi-legendary Airport Hotel. I was standing at a bus stop at the top of Shadow Moss Rd when I took the HLX.

Great shots! That’s the first time I’ve noticed a name on a Jet2 aircraft.
By: CWBalmer - 17th July 2005 at 10:56
