I think this is the best set of pictures you've posted on here so far, Matt.

Well done. :D

Superb shots Matt, I really want to get to MAN on a Saturday, looks like non stop charters on the arrivals board!

Like the PIA 777/747 shot; I'm suprised to see KLMC F70s at MAN. Are these common? I would have thought F100/737s would be used on all flights.

KLM seem to vary what they use on the MAN services, i've seen F70s,F100s,733s,734s,738s, think it must depend on demand in the same way AF use all sorts (318s,319s,320s,321s,145s,735s,).

LBA now seems to be mainly F70s these days, saw one operating the morning flight on Wednesday which is normally an F100.

Maybe both these services are suffering because of Jet2? They operate 3 daily AMS from MAN, and two daily AMS from LBA.

Hey, MANAIRPORTMAD. Nice shots. I would have gone since i only live in Cheadle Hulme but had things to do. Looks like it was a great day.

P.S. What time did that Titan BAe 146-300 arrive? I think i saw one similar on final approach late afternoon. Do they fly regularly?

I'm afraid I don't know what time it arrived, it operated for British Airways today I think.

I captured it at 06R Touchdown at 10:18am apparently but I don't know if my clock on my camera is right...

Nice pics Matt!
