Manchester Airport, 15th September 2020

With Flybe gone, and Coronavirus decimating all the other operators' activities, the airport was quiet, and the southside viewing mound almost deserted, this was a strange visit.

At least I saw the last of the TUI Max fleet moving from their long-term storage next to the Airport Pub, at last freeing up the taxiway to the end of runway 23R. That prompted a visit to the Pub for lunch, where I got some final approach photos, making a change from the Runway Visitor Park which is now spoiled for photographers.
