Forum rules
ImageThis is the forum to share your recent aviation photos with the rest of the community, being photos not older than six months at the moment of topic opening. Theme-based topics, not about recent events, should go into the sub-forum.
Although we will not screen beforehand, we reserve the right to delete any images, especially if clearly unsharp or otherwise low in quality. For more information on how to upload you images, check this post.
In topic titles, please use airfield names in stead of just codes, and be clear about what kind of photos your viewers can expect (e.g. CIV/MIL, location etc.).

Finally, bring any photo criticism understandable and to the point, not cynical or offensive! Simultaneously, do not feel offended by criticism per se, but simply explain your motives, taste et cetera, or ignore if you wish so.

The 'Occasional Manchester' thread

Post by MartinNeedham »

Having received a much needed repaint at Manchester's Air Livery facility, the Democratic Republic of Congo's 727-30 9Q-CDC departed to Lasham on Friday in abysmal weather. The aircraft is one of the earliest 727s still airworthy, having been constructed in 1965.

Edit - Thought I'd keep this thread going with images from Manchester whenever I make trips up there, if that's ok?

Ta,

Martin

Many thanks for the comments, chaps.

Some shots from a dismal Thursday, had two very nice movements within mere minutes of each other.

UAEAF A330 MRTT, 1300, arrived on its way to March ARB, California, departing the next day.

Followed very shortly by Cathay Pacific 747-8F B-LJA, the aircraft was operating the last scheduled Cathay Pacific Cargo service Manchester will see for quite some time, the service having been suspended.

Cheers,

Martin
