Manchester, 17th August, 2017

An early start from my digs close by East Midlands Airport saw me arriving on the South side bank at Manchester at around 7:30.

One of the reasons I went was to see the Flybe/Loganiar Saab 2000s that had started flights to Scotland:

While the Singapore Airlines A350s were another big draw, as the last time I had visited Manchester they used the 777:

One of the more unusual - and clolourful - European visitors was 737 F-GZTQ:

But traffic from the Far East was of a high quality, with this Hainan 787:

And my first Cathay Pacific A.350:

An excellent day on the mound - here is the log:
