I thought it was time to get out of the house during the xmas
holidays so Aidan and I kept our eye on the weather deciding that Sunday 30th
offered the best hope of keeping dry!!.Off we went aiming for the south side at
Manchester hoping for some decent shots, on arrival the light was OK although
not sunny so we set up camp till the runway change at 12pm. We then went to the
Tatton Arms car park for an hour, finally climbing to level 13 of the car park
to check the stands before leaving for Blackpool. Heres what we saw-

Then it was off up the M6 to Blackpool, turning left at Morrisons before the airport gives the best views and we checked the JMAX hangar first but it was firmly shut!!
