Remarks: Rare DC-10 arrival at Manchester creating a huge cloud of vapour on arrival from Al Minhad air base in Dubai. Below is the Qatar A330 following an Emirates A380 for departure also to Dubai

Remarks: My first flight on an A380! Taken whilst disembarking from row 22 on the lower deck of Air France's first Super-Jumbo. It took over 30 minutes to get all the pax off this flight after a short hop across the English Channel from London Heathrow
Remarks: Just pushed back from Terminal 2 with some ice on top of the fuselage. Also US Airways A330 behind parked on the remote stands after going tech earlier in the day
Remarks: My first shot of an IL-96. Seen arriving on Rwy 27 in some excellent afternoon light with plenty of photographers doing their best to see over the perimeter fence. Cheers to Murt & Stu for a very worthwhile trip!
Remarks: Head on view from the end of the runway as the A380 climbs away from 23L, luckily the runway lights had been illuminated just before departure!
