EGCC.....Queen of the Skies!

Postby Mictheslik » Sun Apr 15, 2007 10:43 am

Becoming more and more common at Manchester....the 747!

Regular users are Virgin Atlantic, Singapore Airways, Dragonair Cargo, China Airlines Cargo, Cathay Pacific Cargo, Syrian Airlines and TravelCityDirect.

Surprisingly I saw no Dragonair 74Fs whilst there this week, usually the most common occurance.

Queen of the Skies eh?

I think you'll find they were manufactured at Weybridge in Surrey several years before the 747 even flew... :)

Great shots!! :)

Love the 747 but, I only get to see the UPS ones.  A340's are the only ones that come across the pond anymore!!
