Spotting at EGCC #1

[Mictheslik]

just got back from my grandma and Granddad who live in Manchester, and pent a few hours at EGCC, We were there between 1:30 and 3:30, so for the first one and a half hours all activity took place on Runway 24R (the one closest to the spotting area ), and for the last half hour all flights departed from 24L.....the one really far away

Most activity were holiday flights run by Monarch, Thomas Cook, Thompson, My Travel and First Choice, predominantly operating 757s.

We did get a few Gems such as a Virgin Atlantic 744 and an AlItalia ERJ-170

So in no particular order

Excellent photos. Nice environment to watch and photograph heavies, and it's great to see that Cherokee hanging out with the big kids.
