Manchester (by Chris Smith)
The folks were on a flight from Manchester and I
jumped at the opportunity to do a bit of spotting so chauffeured them down to
the airport.
The weather wasn't the best throughout the day but
fortunately the heavy rain we'd experienced on the way down 'did one', but there
was still strong winds which in the end cut my visit short by about an hour,
couldn't hold the binocs nor the camera steady so cut my losses.

I've not included the Aviation Viewing Park exhibits in the above log, nothings changed since my last visit and if you're reading this you probably know what's there anyway.
Between my two Manchester visits I threw in a half day at Newcastle.

It got to around lunchtime and I was getting bored at Newcastle, I'd made a good few lights and after a little Internet research I worked out I didn't need anything else that was due, so I made my way to Durham Tees Valley in the hope of catching the Yugoslavian Citation, but it left. Still, a Titan Airways aircraft is always worth a photo!

When the day came to pick up the parents, they weren't landing until 1755, but I left home at 0630 with a first stop at City Airport Manchester (Barton Airfield) - I felt a sense of déjà vu on arrival, it's owned by Peel and has received an unpopular and mostly unused new name - sound familiar??
I was quite pleased with the amount I bagged here, including many 'familiar faces' and aircraft I've been chasing for a while. The airfield is like most similar GA airfields, they allow you freedom of the airfield so long as you keep away from active runways/taxiways and the engineering hangar, although it's easier to read off stuff off in their engineering hangar than most.
There was also several Microlights which I didn't bother with since they're basically just advanced paper aeroplanes!

On to Manchester Airport itself next, the final stop of this tour, where I underestimated just how long I would be there for and although arriving/departing traffic was not repetitive like, for example, Dublin, I still got a little bored. Due to a brief rain shower and a rumbling belly, I was away from the action between 1310 - 1505, although I only missed two or three aircraft.
