Great capture. I also saw it over Staffordshire and thought initially it was a Chinook by the noise...but then couldn't believe my eyes. First time I've ever seen one...very impressive machine.

nice one - cheers!

Very smart set of pictures! Where do you go to get those end-of-the-runway shots? Which end was that A320 landing shot taken from? Most of the shots were taken by parking in Moss Lane and taking a short walk along a public footpath through to the edge of the new Airport Car Park. At the moment ther...

Hi Martin, can I ask where's the best place to park for viewing the end of the 05L runway............I normally park next to the Holiday Inn hotel off the A538 when viewing the south side. Can you walk from there?

cheers

lovely shots there fella .........especially liking the last 2, I'd love to get some head on shots at MAN so where's the best place?

Thought I'd try my new 550d out today at a wet & sunny Manchester. Played with the settings a bit so any feedback always welcome. My shots always seem to lose some of their crispness after uploading :( ............any tips appreciated. Enjoy :) http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6200/6156520606_436c6622...

Very nice shots mate - I have started to go up to Man recently as its a great place to practice as you can virtually take your pick of locations - either taxying, take-offs or landings. Some really useful help given to me on this forum - people always glad to pass on their knowledge and experience. ...

lovely crisp shots fella - what a great place for photos Manchester is

Lovely shots Reggie! Great to see some proper 'warm' sunny light back in some photos - been a long time comin!

Apologies Charles a few duplicates here from me taken from the other end! Cracking shots of yours by the way - love the 'tail to tail' shot of the Emirates and Cathay - how nice does that look in that polished metal? :) http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5175/5399409988_5941509ce0_b.jpg http://farm6.sta...

nice shots there mate - I'm quite new to uploading photos and too have 70-300, mines the Canon IS. I'm still learning with it though. Some helpful tips on here and one was to turn the IS off as the shots come out a bit crisper - and they actually do!! I'm quite new to MAN, looks like you took them f...

First visit to EMA in a very long time, some interesting stuff on the ground inc the AN-12 :) but not much in the way of arrivals - in the space of 3 hrs only had 4 a/c land and 3 of these were Ryanair!! - is this normal?? Hope these are of interest. c+c always appreciated. http://farm5.static.flick...
