Notes:

This really was the highlight of my night's stay at Manchester International Airport. Seen here descending into Manchester giving the clouds the 'motion' effect in the spectacular lighting display the 8AM sunrise gave us. The wingtip became my attention for most of the flight and i even got lucky to catch the strobe reflecting of it. I'll never forget this sight!
