Emirates Airbus A380 A6-EOD Arriving Runway 05L At Manchester Airport

 

A Magnificent Monday Spotting At Manchester Airport

 

    So this week I’m on annual leave, and today was the only day I hadn’t got anything planned to do with the family. So after a lot of begging and pleading I managed to get a day spotting behind the camera.

    So Manchester was my destination after those quick short visits during work really wetted the appetite to go. My last proper spotting trip here must of been 2019 before my flight to Stockholm.

    Anyway back to today! My alarm was set to 05:15 opened the curtains hoping that gorgeous weather we’d had the last few days, and you guessed it cloud! Oh well. I left my house just before 0600 and arrived at Manchester Airport south side around 0715. The good thing of getting there early is you can park in the lay by or what I call the small parking area just off the island. 

    There have been some reports on social media that people are parking in front of the crash gates and other access point for the emergency services and the council in due course are going to make it a no parking area with red lines. At the moment this isn’t the case so just think where you park and don’t spoil it for others. There is a holiday inn about 500m down the road which I was told you can park for a charge.

    After a two minute walk I was on one of the south side mounds and this is where I would stay until around 1330.

This was my view from the viewing mound.

Plane Crash At Birmingham Airport Causes Travel Chaos For Holiday Makers

 

    Very sad news to that Beech King Air G-NIAA made an Emergency landing at Birmingham Airport shortly after take off from there. The Aircraft was due to depart to Belfast but quickly returned to Birmingham Airport. Upon landing the main landing gear collapsed and the aircraft landed on it belly. All persons on board where treaded by medics at the scene, but all seem to have come out OK.

    As a result of this many holiday makers are unsure when their holidays will begin. All departure have bee cancelled and many in bound flights have either diverted to other airport in the United kingdom or have simply just been cancelled.

Upon writing this I've heard the runway will need to be resurfaced. Many airlines tomorrow are using larger aircraft to try and help the back log of stranded passengers, many of which have also missed their connecting flights.
