| The day started early at 5.30am!! The UEFA Cup Final was being held at Man City's Stadium between Zenit St Petersburg and Rangers. We headed straight to the south side as they were landing on runway 05Right and found a spot near the piano keys. The weather was superb for once and we were joined by about 250 other spotters from throughout Europe. The first arrival was a VIM 757 at 04.00am but the main thrust of arrivals started at 10am, the predicted Airliners didn't all turn up but the Bizz was interesting and steady throughout the day. We drove over to the car park level 13 before we left and there was at least another 250 spotters there!! All in all a very good day, quality rather than quantity!! mixed with Manchester's usual traffic. |
