I'm gonna be up at Manchester for the weekend.....spending most of the time at the airport ;)

If anyone wants to meet up that would be cool

as an incentive:

On Monday, Belavia Tu154 is due in.... :o :o

"T154        Belavia        BRU853/854        10:55        11:55        "

arrives 10:55, departs 11:55 on Monday :D

Quick report...on 56k so it's painfully slow ;)

Got to the airport at 8 this morning in hope of catching one of the last remaining "proper" DC9s, unfortunately it was delayed until tomorrow :(....guess I'll have to get up early again :D

Saw the Tu154 come in, but was on the wrong side of the airport...as it left at 11:55 it was always touch and go whether it would depart on 23L (where i was) or change to 23R at 12:00.....12:00 came and went and I saw nothing, fortunately a fellow spotter offered to take me round to the aviation viewing park, so we sped round there to try and get a good pic of the beast...still nothing, and I was just getting picked up about 30 mins later when I heard a tremendous noise coming from behind the hangars...figuring it was the 154, I payed another
