Monday Morning At Manchester

 
    My first outing of the working week to me up to the Manchester Airport area. This time I was armed withy camera, still unsure of how I'm gonna upload my photos I head to the south side for a quick 15 minute photo shoot.

    It was perfect timing Juneyao Airlines Boeing 787-9 was sitting at the end of Runwau 23L with an Aer Lingus Airbus 330  taking its place just behind him and just Crossing the runway was the Cathay Pacific Airbus A350-900, And most importantly the sun was out.

Sunday Supplement at Birmingham Airport

 

    So again ended up at Birmingham Airport for a brief stop on the way back from a morning out in Tamworth trying to miss the heavy down pours.
    
Not much of interest in when I called round apart from a Sun Express Boeing 737-800 that was required. Having the wife and kids in tow I once again headed to my normal spotting place, the Elmdon Multi Storey Car Park to see what was about.

    A few camera problems I have at the moment, where I can't upload off my camera to my computer, so i was just armed with my scope and notebook. Hope to sort this out soon.

Saturday Spotting Session With the Kids

 


        Something what I've been wanting to do for most of the summer was take the girls to Sheldon Park to watch the aircraft arrive and depart whilst landing over the park. So today would be that day, runway 15 was in use, the weather from where I was at home seemed fine and a required Pegasus Airbus A321Neo heading to Birmingham made the trip a good idea.

    We arrived there just past midday just at a Turkish Airlines Airbus A321Neo came screaming over our heads. My eldest seemed a little put off by the noise, but the youngest was loving it here and when the time came to leave we had a melt down!!!

Here's what was seen on our couple hours visit to Birmingham Airport today:
