nice one drew :thumb:

what time did that come into glasgow ? it left manchester shortly after 1.00pm

it came in from orlando and it was replaced by the new Airbus A330 which went out at 11.24am

we assumed that had left as empty stock and wondered where it was going to

drew that is the virgin 747 leaving manchester on its way up to you

I did hear that the delay was a mix up on the crew front, the crew that were to bring it up glasgow turned up at gatwick and the plane that they were due to take was sat on the tarmac at manchester, so they had to be driven from gatwick to manchester hence the delay, not sure how true this is but i read it on the net
