MAN 28th July 2025 - Air Drake B767-200 N767CJ

 Having made the effort to go down to Birmingham recently to catch the great looking Air Drake B767-200, it was ironic that N767CJ would turn up at Manchester anyway! Arriving early afternoon it was great to see it parking on stand 22, just below the Terminal One Multi Storey Car Park!
