I frequently transverse this route with work, it can vary from 30 mins to 1h 30. As already stated depends if you get stuck in the hold at Heathrow. The quickest time I recorded from take of at Heathrow to touchdown at Man was 21 mins, then nearly two hours to drive 30 mils from Man to home.

Nice shots Mr. Area, don’t blame you for staying in the warmth, was bitter out there today.

I’m off to Lanzarote for my summer holiday this year, to do some spotting aswell. I’m aware the airport closes during night-time hours, does anyone have the times when the airport closes, and when it re-opens again?

Cheers! 🙂

Matt,

Been there a few times “I wrote a trip report which should be on here somewhere” around and about the perimeter you can get some good shoots whilst also getting burnt, slap loads of sun screen on. Again it’s like most holiday island certain days are inundated by certain carries i.e. Thursdays tend to be popular with the British carriers and so on. The island is quite good loads to see and do but some resorts are a bit tacky we tend to stay in Playa Blanca but I am now past the big 30 so not the party animal I used to be.
I’m sure you will have a good time, sun and aircraft are a great combination enjoy.

Happy Birthday Steve.

Quality pics there Matt 🙂

Can anyone tell me how I can get hold of back issues of Airliner World, and how much they cost?

Send me a pm as I have loads of old copies and don’t need them anymore, who know I might have some you are looking for.
