Just a few pics I took while at Mancherter today (I took 250 of Concorde and the Trident :smile: ). I was hoping to get some pics of the heavies but I was against the sun. I spotted a nice Tristar taking off on my way there though.

One can never tire of looking at her, its just so sad that she's stuck on the ground :sad: Standing next to of her one finds himself imagining her at mach 2 at 60000 feet.

Thanks Jonesey

Great pics but what a shame to see the Concorde getting grubby with the streaks coming down from the windows......so of rubs it in that she's going nowhere. :sad:

I just can't think of them as museum pieces.

The T3's looking good. The penultimate shot of the empennage gives an awesome impression of power. Just wish they could get them up doing what they should be..squirting out loads of smoke and even more noise :tunes: :smile:

:lol:

Nice shots Jonesey. I think Neils attention has been so focused on getting the Trident completed that Alpha Charlie has gotten a little grubby. I'm sure she'll be gleaming again ready for the summer visitors. :smile:

Hope you enjoyed your day out Jonesey. :wink:

I have seen a pic of Jonesey before I think and he did post somewhere that he would be in jeans and a black jacket I think :think:

With no film to waste one is free to mess around with the camera.

Tis shame I didnt see any of "the lads" but I enjoyed seeing the aircraft and I did congratulate Neil :smile:
I had to clear off at about two as my lift had work to do.
