Today at MAN (26/6/04)

Another day at manchester today but I didnt go to any public places, we did abit of exploring and went around all the roads where they go over you landing, shame about the rubbish weather but it cant be sunny all the time [seems like never here in manchester!] I felt so stupid in the middle of Manchester on a street holding my camera up in the air and everyone glaring at me! 😮
I had abit of a weird moment when I was in the car, my dad said “Wouldn’t it be great if a jumbo came in now, it’d look so close!” “Are there any due matthew?” I said “I don’t think so, although the dragonair cargo comes in abit late sometimes” then what is the next plane that comes in? Yes, a dragonair cargo B747F! Yet I didnt get a pic!!!!! 😡
Here are the pics: [some arent that close but if I zoomed in anymore it would have gone REALLY blury! They’re already abit blury and grainy due to the rain!!

I hate it when you send your gran out to the off licence for you and she ends up in Toronto. 😀

LOL!! 😀 Hey, she’s 80 in a couple of months! 😀
So the Canadian relatives our coming over here this summer.
On Mytravel, booked at the Canadian end. Classy! 😉 🙂

I’ve stood on that road before at some rediculous time of the morning waiting for my Gran to arrive back from Toronto.

Cool pics! Is that road the one that crosses the threshold of 24R(?) or is it 06R?? :confused: Anyway. i’ve stood on that road before at some rediculous time of the morning waiting for my Gran to arrive back from Toronto.
Infact, the weather looks remarkably similiar to when I was there. Strange! 😉

very strange! I kind of went everywhere around where they land low! I also went in a garden center where I got the cyprus A320 picture!

Nice pictures considering you are having to fight the weather! NOT the best day for spotting 😀 (Although I have seen a TAP A310 and a TNT 146 :D)
