The Nichols/Spalding MANathon Part 2! BIG Post!

All the shots i see from Manchester seem to put the viewing area reasonably close to the runways..is this a fact or is just an optical illusion

It’s a fact, Steve. 🙂

Great shots, surprised to see a DC10.

You were in a publicly accessible place, I didn’t need it. :p

Thanks again, all!

Oh and the MYT A330 shot – Did you get the permission from myself and Northern_Git to post that shot? 😉

Very nice pics, I know that pushback guy on the FCA 767

Ted

What a coincidence, I was at MAN that day also, although running a few hours late due to the floods in the south of the country.

Lance, Ted – I remember that landing too 😀

Great shots as always mate

Just out of interest, which 747 was it that you managed to get that lovely shot of at the end? Do you mind if I use that last image as a background image for my PC?

It was Cathay Pacific Cargo’s B-HMF, and by all means feel free to use it as your background image! Let me know if you want a higher resolution version of it and I’ll email one over.

Thanks again for your kind words, guys. Very much appreciated. 🙂

Paul

All of those are simply stunning shots, Paul.

First two and last one are my favourites.

Is/was the Omni DC10 covering for MyTravel still/again?

It was in at LGW today (22/08/07)!:D

Nice to see some Tri holers at MAN wish we would get a visit from one at NCL. Love the DC-10 take off shot.

Really nice set of shots mate, love that final 747 silhouette!

Good stuff there! was going to make a trip to MAN this weekend but ended up staying in Stockport!

Its G-MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO :D:D:D:D:D

Awsome as ever paul, love the end 747 shot … keep it up 😀

Danny

All great shots

2 questions…

What’s the ‘talking telescope’ ? and what’s that little open panel on the DC-10 as it rotates… ?

I’ve used the talking telescope as a camera rest, that’s about it!

As for the open panel, I’d guess it’s the cabin pressure outflow valve.

Lance… That landing certainly was interesting! 🙂

Hmmm… Some of those shots look mighty familiar. 😎

Nice DC-10. 😀

Do you remember the Scary Landing? :diablo:

At what times did you take the 1st two shots?

According to the EXIF data, the first was taken at 08:42 and the second at 17:55. It was the first time I’ve ever seen T2 completely empty. A very odd sight indeed!

Thanks for your kind words so far, guys! 🙂

Paul

Really very nice shots Paul! I like the 1st shot, and the side-on 757 shots are cool to! At what times did you take the 1st two shots?

I’ve never seen a picture of T2 empty like that before!:eek:

Really nice shots.:)

Didn’t think it was possible for MAN to be that empty in the second shot :diablo: , fantastic selection though Paul :D.
