Jet2 757 Short Takeoff 22 June at Manchester

[Paul Zietsman]

I was taken by surprise when the 757 rotated well before I expected it to. Radio traffic a bit later seemed to indicate a test flight and it wasn't too long before the aircraft returned. The heat-haze was awful from quite early on that morning and when I moved to the end of 23R a while later, most of my footage was rendered useless by the haze.
