Manchester 23rd July 2011   Dave Rose / Ian McMaster / Aidan Williamson

We had booked to spend the weekend in Amsterdam but with a lousy weather forecast we postponed it and headed to Manchester!! Blue skies greeted our arrival and we headed for MSCP level 13 for a quick scan before heading to the "Mound" on 23L. We spent a couple of hours here before they closed the runway and used 23R only (must be saving money!!) I had seen another "Mound" on some photography sites near the threshold of 23R so we went off to find it. Going past the Tatton Arms turn right at the lights and then right into the long stay car-park, just befor the barriers turn onto the gravel road and follow it round till you see the hills on your right. This is a construction site and diggers were parked so I dont know how long it will last. Good shots can be had here in the morning till 3pm ish and you shoot over the cars towards the Airport Hotel. We stayed till 3.30pm and headed off to LBA, an excellent day for photography and the movements were brisk all day, highlight being the "Allegiant" Jet2 aircraft, Adria retro-jet and Finnair E190 in the new scheme.
