Spent another unexpecte day down at Manchester, weather was very very good, and for the first time I was able to venture southside, albeit for only an hour before the runway closed. The wind in that field though :eek:

As ever these days the pics are straight from the camera and only edited for size as I still cant get hold of a copy of photoshop :rolleyes:

Cathay 742:

And from the AVP, Thomsonfly B733. I flew this when she was with Ryanair as G-BZZI STN-PIK-STN in 2003:

This bmi 321 overran the runway at Belfast City last night. Clearly no damage done as shes back in service today:

Another slanderous Ryanair 738!

Excellent shots as ever Mark, would imagine I will finally get round the southside in the next couple of months, when I get insured on the car!
