• Manchester Ringway Int'l Airport - EGCC, United Kingdom

It was worth getting up at about 0330 in the morning and taking the night bus to the airport which takes about 1 hr. Finally after waiting for 4 hours in the hot sun, T2 was almost full with a mix of all kind of aircraft from all over the world! I had the pleasure of shooting each one of them individually as they came in or left. Here they are from the front: Virgin Atlantic Boeing 747-400 G-VAST 'Ladybird'; US Airways Airbus 333 N273AY; Onur Air MD-88 TC-ONN; Thompson 767-300 G-OBYJ; KLM Cityhopper Fokker 70 PH-KZK; Continental 757 N13138; First Choice 757 G-OOBG; Delta 767 N825MH; Qatar 332 A7-AEM; AirFrance 320 F-GKXF; FlyGlobespan 767 G-CDPT.

Typical British weather welcomes us into Manchester as we arrive from Mumbai (and Doha) as QR045 on a very very comfortable Airbus A330-200

Flying in for runway 09 and far too low, but I am not complaining :-) Any lower, and this place would have become the St
