Wintry MAN

Oh my God that looks cold…here i am sitting at the keyboard in shorts and flip flops…it made want to get up and go put some clothes on 😀

Here are a few shot’s from this morning including the Cimber Sterling Airways 737-700 G-STRH……enjoy:)

Why send KLM to MAN??? surely there is an airport closer to AMS that could have taken it.Also on the Delta/KLM pic who’s is the 737 nose on left of shot???

Guess it was a transatlantic flight and with Brussels & Dusseldorf closed it seems that that area of Europe was in a bad way, so at the end of a long flight from the west Manchester must have been the best option bearing in mind fuel remaining. Get in where you can !

By the way, the first shot is the view I saw in the news footage about the Manchester runway closure. I remember the 2 AFs sitting like that with the KLM pig and Continental.

It’s parked at the far end of T2, beyond the gates. It’s still very much impounded, complete with tractor and traffic cones.

None shall pass ! :p

Nice shots Lance.

Why was the Globespan 737 lined up on the apron anyway ? Working for someone else already ???

Interresting. Weather at MAN is just as bad on Amsterdam.

Very nice.

Naughty naughty, you’ll be accused of being racist if you carry on like that :diablo:

It’s great how the snow covers up the dirt on those AF planes isn’t it ?

Great photos! 🙂

I’m also interested to know what the KLM MD-11 was doing there!

Paul

it got diverted from Schiphol because of weather

Lovely! It’s great to see MAN with weather other than rain! Nice images, Lance. Thanks for sharing them. 🙂
