It’s just under 200 Miles from London to Manchester.

I’ve had a quick look on Opodo for prices, and the cheapest I could get for a day trip next Monday was 78 pounds with VLM, from LCY to MAN, with bmi [from LHR] being from 150 notes return, and BA don’t seem to have any seats avalaible on their Monday morning flights from both LHR and LGW to MAN.

(although there’s a note saying if my dates are flexible, bmi return flights from LHR to MAN start from 64 pounds)

ok, here’s the more exotic ones I saw this weekend…

The whole Crossair Europe fleet took off on scheduled flights within 5 minutes of each other… Saab340B’s F-GPKG, F-GPKD and albino F-GPKM

not forgetting the Springbok Classic Air DC-4 I saw on tuesday… (ZS-AUA)

With any luck AF will use it on the ORY-MLH shuttle run soon, so I can get a pic. The flight’s generally either a 320 or a 319, so we must have a chance at some stage…

Great pics, and I always enjoy seeing DUB shots. Don’t suppose you got an Aer Lingus A330 shots ?

Will try and get you some next month. There are two EI A330 football Charters due in at BSL when the ROI take on Switzerland at the St. Jakob Park on the 11th.
