Emirates A380 @ Manchester

[speedchick]

Emirates start their A380 service from Manchester Airport on 1st September.

If anyone is thinking of going to the viewing park to see the first one, be warned, they have changed the rate to £12 per car for the day (with upto 5 people in), and in addition to this, you have to pre-book your car in before hand.

Just thought I would metion it in case anyone was going to see it.

The release I saw said that it was still free on foot or public transport, I know they changed the pricing structure a while ago to charge by the hour, but this really takes the 'p'

And they wonder why the spotters either go over the south side, or go to the pub!

It was the wind apparently, too gusty for the first attempt, but I have since heard that the plane that did finally land today has gone tech.
