Arriving late morning all the way from Perth (via Colombo & Dubai), La Compagnie A321 Neo F-HBUZ was carrying the Australian international Cricket Squad.
Arriving on 05 Left on a dull evening whist operating for PIA Pakistan International, nice to catch a HiFly aircraft here with some colour on it!
Now that Etihad have restarted ops to Manchester with their B787-9's we have the chance once again to see a few of their special schemed Dreamliners, today was the turn of A6-BLJ in the "Choose Thailand" colours with a bonus few seconds of sunshine as it was about to land on 23R.
A day out in the sun at London Heathrow to catch up on a few new subjects including the rare Friday only Rwandair A330 service, my time was spent on the Terminal 5 mound as they were landing on runway 09 Left, I was quite happy with my haul although the last thing of any interest turned out to be the Czech A320 just after 1.30pm so I was on my way home shortly after that!
First good movement for me was the morning LOT Polish Airlines Embraer which was operated by SP-LNN which still wears the colours of previous operator AZUL of Brazil.
Arriving on 23R on a cloudy but bright morning, Air Transat A321 Neo was the second of their type to visit Manchester after the restart of their services post-Covid shutdown.
Making its first visit, Republic of Serbia Emb.135 Legacy YU-SRB landed on 23R mid-afternoon on a typically grey Manchester day!
