Remarks: Just arrived for a weekend spotting in Manchester. From the upper carpark the lovely lit airport shows us a thomas cook that is ready for taxi. He just swiched on the nose light.
Remarks: Thomas Cook has a fleet of some 41 aircraft – mostly 757s and Airbuses - but this is one of its only two 767s. It is seen here on full reverse thrust in teeming rain at Manchester, disappearing in a cloud of spray. (40D; Sigma 80-400@250mm; fluid-head tripod; 200th sec exposure; stabilization switched off)
