I guess bmi will plug MAN-LHR-India services, the reverse of the existing LHR-MAN-USA services. I agree that MAN could do with a new service to India – demand must easily be sufficient.

Imagine a A346 like stretch for that monster ….

I’d love to see the compact version (like the 318) 😉

Great photos, always pleasing to see airworthy 707s these days 🙂

Despite its’ size, looking at the front end (landing gear and forward) I can’t help think that there’s something undefinably Airbusesque about it

It’s not on your list on the second photo post but that is the AF A318 isn’t it? How stumpy, but cute, it looks!!

I was thinking the same: the baby of the Airbus family 😀 Fantastic pics!

At MAN it should be referred to as TF- “well” ARD ! 😀

Great shots fella, you need to get out of town more often (not) 😀 :diablo: :p

There must be more aircraft on the Icelandic register at Manchester than Keflavik 😉 Great photos as ever, I never get bored of seeing MAN 😀

Speaking of Japanese airports, if anyone is interested in construction progress on the new Central Japan Int’l Airport, see here. I have a mate in Nagoya and may have to visit him when it opens 😎 😉

Yes, Osaka Kansai is the city’s other (international) airport
