Civilian Aviation

So, I left the house at 4:15 this morning, and I'm still going strong. Off to the pub for a well deserved drink after catching a tan in that rarest of things, the Manchester sun!!

Not much to shout about, so here you go:

Thanks for looking... let me know what you think!

very nice ,the 787 looks like it had a lot of "trim" set on the tailplane?,and I reckon you photo shopped the sunshine!!!!.it never shines up there.cheers............ .

glad to see the Thomson 787 at last..should be doing flights from GLA at start of July so will catch it then..

were they taken from pub carpark ??

sun at Manchester.. def photoshopped lol.

seen you there in January and you were wearing a baraclava thingwy.. was bloody freezing . even me being a Scotsman found it a bit cold..lol
so glad you got the sun, no doubt cloud a cold weather will be waiting for me for my next visit

Nice shots looking forward to seeing the 787 at Prestwick in next few days the 1st airfield up here to get it

Again, thanks very much all!

Uppergreen, I did wonder what the big yellow thing in the sky was when I got off the train!! No idea re. trim, maybe someone more technically minded will help on that one? The tail/wings are all quite small though for an aircraft that size. Although I did read the wings are wider than the fuselage is long! Pretty rare in itself!

Coolmore, yes, the pub (the name of which I can't remember) is where these were from. I didn't want to hang around for too long. The 4:30 start knackered me! As for the balaclava... That was one of about 7/8 layers and I was still bloody freezing. Remarkable difference Friday was -I had to put suncream on!

Honest man, it flew over Cardiff today on the way down to Newquay for testing. I'm hoping b & c will come down here to test, there has been talk of them visiting CWL so fingers crossed for both of us!
