Will there be room for them all?
I know it's large, but they'll need several trips I'd think . . . Shirley . . .

Morning G-C, they are used to big crowds at Manchester Airport especially for the big UEFA Cup games at MUFC when there are a lot of extra flights and thousands of extra spotters to see them.

There was about 6,500 people turned up at the viewing park which I think must be a record and there was quite a few thousand more around the airport, so all in all the A380s first visit created a lot of interest.

I think he's fully active elsewhere - a full-time spotter . . .

His photography is tip top!
