Congratulations to Greg Mape for this great “Moon shot” …not quite Manchester Airport but as it was taken from Gregs back garden in Baguley I think it’s near enough. The shot was taken early evening on 20th March and the “unidentified” aircraft was travelling from East to West.
All B737 Max 8 and Max 9 aircraft are grounded. 5 x TUI B737 Max 8 were initially parked up at Manchester Airport (north of the new and as yet unopened Pier 1):- G-TUMA / B / C / D and G.
G-TUMF which operated MAN-TFS on Tuesday 12th March remains parked at Tenerife South Airport (TFS).
The 5 “Manchester Aircraft” were re positioned on Friday 22nd March to Taxiway Juliet in between Juliet 1 and Juliet 2 for parking. See photo below taken 23rd March 2019 by Peter H.
