Sunny Manchester April 2013

Summer keeps hinting that it’s on the way, and luckily most of these photos feature some blue skies. One of the days last week me and Rob stood on ‘Trenchard Drive’ where a lot of the MAN regulars go, sadly a man from the house behind where we were stood told me + Rob we weren’t welcome here and that airport security
must know our car registration if we want to park here to watch aircraft. I asked the regular guys and they said he’s just an idiot and that’s not the case at all. We will definitely stand in front of his house again next time to make a point – we weren’t anywhere near his property and it’s a public road. Always someone who wants to moan!

On with the photos!

The LH retro has occasionally operated the mid morning flight to MUC (LH2501).

Thanks for the kind words.

Culpano, when we finally saw the EI retro, it came in again and again typically. The LH retro came in the day after we saw it as well, still rare here though.

Great pics, not keen on the white bland SQ not helped by the weather ! Funny to see the BA 777 at MAN
