With the recent wintry weather we’ve witnessed at Manchester, this very appropriate picture taken by David Witter in November last year features one of the 3 daily Emirates A380 flights kicking up some spray during its arrival on runway 23R with the remainders of recent snowfall visible!
Fantastic photo David!

Not a sight we thought we’d see again! A nice flash from the past at Manchester today as this Thomas Cook liveried A321 departed 23R headed for Canada. The aircraft which previously operated for TCX paid a visit to the STS maintenance facility this week! Probably the last time we’ll ever see a Thomas cook liveried aircraft!
📸 Martin Langran captured this fantastic photo of the departure with some beautiful late afternoon sunshine!
A fantastic photo taken by James Dylan last week with a very friendly KLM captain who treated visitors at the RVP to a Beth friendly and enthusiastic wave as the aircraft taxied past the park after its arrival from Amsterdam on runway 23R!

After a winning start to their England’s World Cup Campaign yesterday with a 6-2 victory over Iran, we thought this fantastic photo of a Qatar B777-300 in the ‘2022 Qatar World Cup Livery’ was a fitting photo for today’s post!
The image was brilliantly captured by RVP regular Bradley Caslin as the aircraft taxied past the park after arriving from Doha on runway 23R!
