A Wet And Miserable Manchester Morning

 


    So work took me today to Stockport for my first job of the day. From where I was, I could hear the aircraft but due to the poor weather conditions they wasn't visible. How the weather has changed over the past few weeks. I have a few days off towards the end of the month so weather permitting I plan to venture once again to the South Side Spotting locations.

    So once my work was completed and was told to head back down the motorway back to the depot, I headed to Level 13 on the Car Park to catch the morning heavies!.

The following where noted around 0845 this morning:
