    Do you have any idea how far it is from the terminals to the South Side, Flex 35? 😮

    I don’t drive and there’s no public transport over there, unless you count taxis at £10 or more – I kid you not, ladies and gentlemen, £10 or more – one way. You cross the licensing authority border, you see. The drivers can and do charge whatever they like. 😡

    The viewing park can be problematic for photography in the morning because the sun is right in front of you.

    So, no. 🙂

    Manchester’s 2nd runway (24L/06R) is only in use at peak periods, and Ringway is a considerably busier airport than either GLA or EDI.

    You only have to see the state of the taxiways and terminals at Ringway to start wondering whether at least some of the money spent on the 2nd runway could have been put to better use, so I’m inclined to agree with EK to an extent.

    Thanks, chaps. 🙂

    Actually, my favourite is the Dragonair B747F – it’s lost a bit through the compression needed to get it down to an acceptable size, but the original is one of the best I’ve taken to date, IMHO. 🙂

    My suspicions have been aroused….my beady eye will be fixed firmly on this thread.

    In the meantime, can we please avoid yet another GLA-vs-EDI? I don’t care who started it or who thinks they didn’t – let’s stop it here and now.

    I’m seriously considering adopting a policy of awarding a 24hr ban to anyone who starts a GLA-vs-EDI thread or turns an otherwise “innocent” thread into one.

    I can assure you that’s no optical illusion, Steve! 😮

    A poor subject for pedantry, Sandy. 🙁

    We’ve had pictures from Zante on here before, Whitefox.

    Have any of you lot been there recently? Tom…..?

    Yes, I knew that Emirates would be using the B777-300 into GLA but I thought the B777-300ERs were for longer distance routes into Asia and the USA.

    We live and learn, eh? 🙂

    I don’t think you’ll be seeing B777-300ERs on a regular basis, EK. 🙂

    That would have been at 11:41, RIP. 🙂

    I find myself largely in agreement with Damien.

    There has to be a better system than the one we have now…the fact that we haven’t found one yet just shows that we need to carry on looking.
