some great shots from the south side, I have not really done any civilian photography for ages and it is probably two years since i have been to Manchester, but your post inspired me to get up there again so a 4.30 am start last Friday and i was on the south side at 6.30am it was a bit overcast but it was still a pleasant morning out with the camera

Thanks "Mach One"-Yes , its not a bad spot photography wise - especially at 6am! (I've been away from any photography for years but got my first DSLR 18 months ago and the aviation bug bit me again!)

Best Wishes all

Cracking photos!

Still not been there, will get round to it, never seen a Sun Air Dornier yet! Love the Thomas Cook 330, looks better than the Hi-Fly one :lol:

Thanks James- Yes the south side of runway 2 is probably best spot early morning- the path being above the fence line is a bonus-uninterrupted view for most of the runway.

Cheers
