Hi all,
wonder if anyone could help me. I seen a plane going over Stockport between 12:30pm-13:00pm today it looked like a CRJ/Fokker 100 with a yellow tail.
Thanks

FlyBe have a DHC8-400 grounded at IOM following a nasty impact from a ground vehicle. It sounds like the repair will be a long and expensive job. There may be other factors, but this is one aircraft which will be requiring substitute cover for quite a while.

Just had a couple of go arounds at MAN due a BA A319 reporting it hit 2 birds on takeoff roll. BA 734 and PIA 772 had to go around to runway being swept.

Aurela 737-300 LY-SKA on finals into MAN on FR24. FR24 states it is operating BE297 MAN-EDI but I think it has got it the wrong way round as it is clearly on finals into MAN and I have seen it with my own eyes through bins. Can any one shed light on this for me please.

SE-RFS = formerly G-OBYB. Must be operating a TOM flight.
As for BE, they are down a plane following an incident in the Isle of Man. A 733 might well have been all they could source at short notice.

Also, me and Rob saw an emergency landing with a light aircraft today, any info on this?

Nope - Emergency vehicles have stayed over the south side while the Virgin makes it's way in. It did seem a bit weird the way the 747 taxi'd in from runway 2, at this time of day.

Fire engines followed the VIR 744 onto stand 85, came in under local standby.

Low on fuel due to long holding times

I realise there are various factors affecting how much holding fuel an aircraft has, but I do find it rather puzzling that on occasions flights to MAN can only manage a couple of holds at most before diverting
whereas at LHR holding delays of 40 minutes or longer perhaps result in the odd divert or usually none at all.

28 - by Sam-at-MAN 3268 posts -

Flights into busier airports such as LHR are usually planned to carry more fuel to account for holding times. For airports such as MAN, the majority of airlines will probably only carry enough fuel to allow 10-15 minutes of holding before they have to divert to elsewhere.

I suppose it's down to flight planning.
At LHR you expect to hold for a long period therefore carry the fuel for that.
At MAN you don't expect more than once round even if you're unlucky so you carry the fuel for that scenario.
It would be quite expensive carrying the weight of fuel around to cover all eventualities I guess.
Sometimes a flight gets unlucky. MAN is the beneficiary of that sometimes, in this case it lost a flight.
Swings and roundabouts.

Spot on.
Also at MAN we have a fair number of charter flights coming from fairly short runways in the Greek Islands, or 737s taking off from hot places like Egypt, where carrying huge amounts of fuel would mean a payload reduction on takeoff.

the alternates for our flights wouldn't take much in the way of holding either. Diversion fuel to LPL, LBA or even dear ol Blackpool won't be that excessive!
Liverpool can take anything up to a 747 (and has done), and an A333 is a regular on football flights.

My mistake! I hadn't realised that is was a freight movement.
However, contrary to the details displayed on the Home page, I assume that this morning's Korean Air Cargo movement was, in fact, an inbound delivery of more Black Knights aircraft (i.e. rather than a collect and return), given that, if my memory serves me correctly, they (the Black Knights) are due to display at RIAT and Waddington.
