Derek Siu 0 Report post Posted February 11, 2009 (edited) Hi guys, here's some photographs taken @ Manchester airport and Liverpool airport. It was my 1st time to spot @ Manchester- Have to say "it was an amazing experience!", prob. one of the best airport you can spot in the UK. EGCC- 24 JAN 2009 So Here are a few of my photos: I was so lucky to see this special paint EGGP - 10 FEB 2009 (20 mins only) So why only 20 mins? This might be a question that you might wonder... I had a flying lesson on the day, after my lesson i saw the bus just left the bus stop, normally takes 20mins for the next bus, therefore decided to spend my time wisely. After taken the shot, I've realized that the person who was sitting on the left hand seat was my friend. Might sell this photo to him :wink: (Just kidding) Although I'm kind of a green person, but i might have to deforest one day- Look! that's what runes the photos. This sums up what's Liverpool's traffic is like - Easy jet or Ryan Air... Can't wait till KLM Joins in the game with their Fokker 70 Edited February 11, 2009 by Derek Siu Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sneeze Lam 0 Report post Posted February 19, 2009 Derek, think you have already forgotten the forum already, but just now I check with the page and saw your efforts. It is really surprising me. So, when you back in Hong Kong, I guess you can help to boost up the input on the HKG spotting topic. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Derek Siu 0 Report post Posted February 21, 2009 Thanks everyone for your comments, been very busy again. (this AEROSPACE course is rather tough) this is why i haven't manage to reply everyone. Sneeze: Surly i will spot @ HKG, but at the same time ( i should start revising for summer exams ) - Let's go again ONLY if they weather is NICE! Got a msg for Pieter: Great shots, Derek !!! Lucky to get the KLM-retro @ MAN ... Keep those shots from Central England coming; indeed, MAN is the best UK airport, spotting-wise Thanks! I have met this person while spotting @ Liverpool. He said he normally do a day Trip from Liverpool to Amsterdam via Easyjet. ( leave Liverpool around 6 am, and the return trip is normally around 9 pm from Amsterdam) If i manage to get a cheap ticket after my exams in the summer, i might be able to spot @ Amsterdam for a day.

Tony 1 Report post Posted February 24, 2009 Great shots, Derek! But go easy on the plants. Just a bit of trimming will do, no need to deforest yet... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Derek Siu 0 Report post Posted February 25, 2009 Great shots, Derek! But go easy on the plants. Just a bit of trimming will do, no need to deforest yet... Hi Tony, thanks for you cm. Yeah i strongly disagree with deforestation (well, the last time i visited there, all those tree branches has been removed.) Finally a much better view. Great weather on that day as well. I have taken more photos and already posted on the forum.

Cornelis Boersma 0 Report post Posted August 14, 2010 Thx mate MAN is a good airport to do some spotting, some good places around. And as I see on your pictures, soms interesting airlines. I am glad you had a good time. Nice catch of KLM Embraer 190 PH-EZP, I believe this is the newest addition to KLM's fleet! I see Finnair downgraded the E90 to E70 C U in AMS in 2 weeks!

Teoh Z Yao 0 Report post Posted August 19, 2010 Ahh, I didn't know that one was new... :-) Glad to have taken a shot of it here! :-) By the way, I notice a lot of Embraer... Is it a norm here lately or it has been so traditionally...? I don't see them in S.E. Asia normally... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
