Back to Home page   Trip Menu

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-
