Hi all,
I decided a visit to Manchester Intl was long overdue. So I booked myself a BMiBaby flight and defied the foul weather together with my dad, who at the last moment decided to keep me company...and regretted his decision to do so when he noticed I had not exaggerated the about the weather expectations. A few pints of Guinness quickly changed that though...

Aircraft already seen on previous days were not noted by me on 18-7 and 19-7.
Then it was time to depart (back) to Schiphol, or at least so everyone aboard G-TOYD thought...but the weather had deteriorated again. Apparently the runways were flooded and the airport closed because of that, but luckily the rain would stop soon.
So we were pushed back from the gate...and then pulled back to the gate again. A hint of kerosene reached our nostrils and the captain told us the engine would not start. The Manchester Airport fire brigade was on the scene in no time, as were the BMiBaby engineers. After a little while we were told we had to disembark, since they had to do some trial runs with the engine. So it was back out in the rain again towards the terminal (that's what you get when you fly low cost, no money for use of the jet bridge
)
After about a 1h 30min delay (which, for instance, made sure I did not miss the VP-CED) we headed out of Manchester...great weekend!
