Sorry to see that they only had time to clean the front fuselage on the PIA!
 
Back on 19th June 2013 I was fortunate to be invited to visit the new control tower, just before it was fully commissioned. The following is my photographic record of that day:

This video clip, by StuWithAView, includes a flyby of Manchester in no other way that I have ever seen before. You have to go to around 11 minutes before the airport actually appears!!

All I can say is "Enjoy" 😀😀


PS - sorry I had posted in incorrect link to the video. 😢

Bit off topic but had a good trip out at MAN airport today, smooth on time transpennine train service to mancs pic and onto the airport.
Id say the airport was running at around 70percent of 2019 levels but was so strange to see terminal 3 closed and deserted and terminal 2 at a very reduced operation.
Was mainly jet2, easyjet and ryanair operating with a very limited amount of international and European airlines.
 
Love the photos LBA4EVER even if they’re not LBA.
 
Great pictures @andyc941 you're bringing the gallery to life with all your recent uploads. If you label up your photos with full descriptions you will increase the viewership of your pictures even further.

Heads Up!

For some weird reason, my days off work tend to involve being out of my flat by 5am and not getting back until 10pm. Back to work and the regular "fix" of 7.40am to 7.15pm hours

Some explosive weather build-ups currently in the North of England. What is it like where you are?

I don't believe I am quite covering enough roles at work. Its now 4 on a bad day, 5 on a good day and there is scope for a 6th and 7th role. Still on minimum pay but had the biggest payrise in the company,
