Busy Day Plane Spotting at Manchester Airport, RW23R | 10-03-22

Pretty much a last minute decision saw me head up to Manchester in hopes of catching a newly painted special aircraft from Qatar Airways - That of course being their new Retro livery on A7-BAC. I arrived just after 10am and stayed till 2pm for the 777's departure. Within those 4 hours, plenty of action! So so good to see it busy up here again, with plenty of long haul flights as well

As the day progressed, so did the weather. The Sun definitely made it feel like a Spring day. Aside from the Qatar Retro, other movements captured during this visit included my first sighting of an Icelandair 737 MAX in the new colour scheme - This particular frame adopting a Green accent to the tail. As well, I also saw an Emirates A380, some Virgin Atlantic A330's, an Aer Lingus UK A330, Singapore A350, TUI 787's and much more!

It was fairly windy at times as well, with a southerly crosswind present. Some landings were interesting to watch, especially the Jet2 757 at 32:05 - Definitely an erratic landing on that one. You may also notice the TUI 787-9 at 33:48, of which didn't retract its gear, this is typically due to hot brakes, so the gear will be left down for a little bit longer after departure. Nothing to worry about and the aircraft carried on to its destination

Fortunately, next month the southern Runway is scheduled to finally reopen at Manchester, so I will definitely be back up here to get some more footage from this position - A much missed sight indeed

Anyway if you enjoyed this video then feel free to drop a like and comment below, it is much appreciated!

Thanks for watching and have a good day
