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 "energy label" on the Flybe Embraer is really funny.

Wow, nice shots! I really want to go there sometime. How did you get there, if I may ask? Since Jet2 stopped AMS-MAN, it's kind of expensive to fly straight into MAN by VLM or KLM...

Nice series, you were lucky with the weather and the runway use.

I like the Virgin take off and the special Monarch and Lybian CRJ are good catches

First: thanks for all the nice comments everybody!

To answer your question: I flew Jet2 from AMS to LBA and had myself picked up there by a friend of mine who lives in Manchester. He told me that DUS-MAN of BRU-MAN with FlyBe might be a kind of affordable option, when flying in the weekend though.

Saturday, I was at the Airpark all day, a position with sun ahead until about 3-4pm.

Sunday I went to the opposite position: drive around the airport to the Holiday Inn Express Hotel. There is a public footpath with takes you up a hill where you are straight in front of the position where all departing planes line up.

Every morning between 6-12am the 'new' runway is used for all take-offs (it's btw the runway where the infamous TopGear item was shot).

And yes, I was very lucky with the wheather :D
