Remarks: Taxiing to runway 05 for afternoon departure to Birmingham with the airport terminal behind and a good variety of traffic on stand including the less usual visit of an El Al 747
Remarks: BA Connect’s seven Dash-8s are in the process of being returned to the lessor as one of the initial stages of disposal of the company’s entire fleet following the takeover by Flybe. Nevertheless, several were still in evidence on the afternoon I visited Manchester; this one was photographed from the aviation viewing park, an 80th second exposure blurring the propeller discs (a fluid-head tripod steadied the camera).
