MAN 1st December 2017 - Antonov Airlines An22 UR-09307

The awesome Antonov An22 UR-09307 made its third visit to Manchester today arriving from Helsinki to collect an A330 engine for a Thomas Cook A330 out in Holguin (Cuba), this is its first visit since 2004 and its first since being painted in the new scheme. Sadly the sunny morning had given way to cloudy skies by the time it landed and the departure a couple of hours later was no better!!







MAN 1st December 2017 - Lufthansa B747-400 D-ABVO

Making its first visit to Manchester thanks to an unruly passenger, Lufthansa B747-400 D-ABVO was a diversion whilst en-route from Frankfurt to Vancouver, the aircraft continued its journey a couple of hours later after offloading the person concerned!
