Hot Lips at Manchester!!

Yes at last the Virgin 747 is now a 400!!! She is fairly new, first airborne May 2001. Reg G-VLIP called Hot Lips!

We got up early, walked 20 minutes through some very muddy fields to a little known plane spotters area VERY close to runwy 24L and here are the photo's......oh and she was 50 minutes late so we were very cold and a touch wet by the time we took these photo's.........





On way to the holding point for runway 24L




Waiting for take off





Close up!




Take off, Orlando here I come..............

Looks good Julie. You can certainly see the difference in climb angles when compared to the old -200 series that were used on the route!
