Lovely shot as it passes in front of the sun. Really nice video, especially so as you must have been freezing!!

[75426168]

[mcpcshowcaseHD]

Cool. I look forward to seeing it. Let me know when you've uploaded it (",)

[puiear]

This might not be the best video you will ever put on here but it certainly captures the atmosphere at the airport. It looks very bleak yet beautiful the way snow has a way of making everything beautiful. Well done to capture this. I bet it was no picnic. 5*

[CaptainFaisal]

beautiful!

[cattleman6420012000]

Superb video and so effective in the snow. The snow blast looks great !!

[rapljwop]

Ahhh, There's nothing better than snow to make a place look beautiful. I was hoping you'd be doing some snow-covered airport shots :D

[arusben]

Great video.

[B3TAALPHA]

Very nice video.

[B777rocks]

I watched it in HD, the quality almost blew me away!

[Flyglobespan93]

Its pretty extrordinary when u watch this

[sealalula]

Please spot SQ 327 , 12 JAN :)

[mcpcshowcaseHD]

I'm afraid I can't make it to the airport on the 12th.

[sealalula]

oh no :(

How about 11th ?

[FunkyZangel]

Singapore airline, our national carrier ;)

[sottyuk]

Great to see these big birds in the snow

[69Gabinho69]

nothing compares with a bear in the snow!

[YOWspotter]

sweet! saw pic of a snaowy SIA 777 on jetphotos today, maybe it was MAN too

[youtrein]

Wonderful!

[scaremenga]

They did an experiment to see how far a fully spooled up 747 would push cars, they should redo that test with the 777. It'd be great to see how far the car would be blown by the GE90's.. probably 4 times as far since stopping distance increases exponentially in relation to the increase in power, 50,000 to 98,000. Twinjets with high thrust ratios are going to be everywhere, so it'd make sense to do a "test".

[mcpcshowcaseHD]

Are you referring to the Top Gear test where they used a Virgin Atlantic 747 to blow away a Ford Mondeo and Citroen 2CV. That was great.

As you say, it would be fantastic to see that replicated with the 777.

[deccas1391]

Or the A380 - Imgine how far it would've been blow by a Trent 900 or a GP7200!

[mcpcshowcaseHD]

That would be a great sight to see too.

[james331933]

I like snow. I like the 777...

[MrJaySaffa]

Was the airport closed at any stage because of the snow? Do they have de icing equipment at over there?

[mcpcshowcaseHD]

The airport was closed when the snow first started to come down, but was open business as usual today. There were some delays. The airport does have de-icing equipment.

[OCXEON]

oh great video. Great airline, great plane, great scene!

[starmonarA380]

Absolutely superb as always mcpcshowcase, thanks for freezing your bollocks off to bring us this masterpiece. Loved the way she towers over us with the glaring sunlight in the background, and the light whisps of snow being blown up, looking more like Moscow than Manchester! Superb

[yokenhelm]

That's a very nice video you have there!

[OliverKnowles]

Hey mcpc, when will the blog on manchester viewing me done? sorry to rush you.

[mcpcshowcaseHD]

I'm hoping it will be up and running sometime this week. I've been a little side tracked lately so not had much time to update it as yet,

Thanks for asking (",)

[AirbusA330A340Fan]

Awesome video. Did you manage to film any A330/A340 planes in the snow?

[mcpcshowcaseHD]

That's a secret. LOL only joking. I have at least 2 A330 videos to upload, but sadly no A340. They are quite rare at Manchester - especially since Virgin have re-assigned theirs.

[thedefiantrebel]

iv only seen one a340 when i have been there, but it was a virgin one.

there was also a virgin 747 at the same time!

it was awsome:)

[7Luker7]

I wish I had time to visit MAN in the snow, what a beautiful sight. Did you not get frozen out there?

[mcpcshowcaseHD]

It was surprisingly warm considering. I had loads of layers on, but once the Sun was up it was quite toasty.

[anakingay]

Is it not dangerous for planes to move about the airport with snow on the ground. A plane in America crashed into the Potomac River because of ice in the engines.

[mcpcshowcaseHD]

The Air Florida flight you refer to suffered a catalogue of errors made by the ground and flight crew. Providing the correct procedures are followed it is perfectly safe for aircraft to remain in service.

[anakingay]

I'd still be a bit nervous I think.

[TheChosenRed]

Love this video mcp! Did MAN have problems with the snow the past couple of days? My flight to Dublin with BA was cancelled 2 days ago, so going next week now!

[HeathrowSpottingHD]

amazing video! do you live in manchester? the snow has been awsome!

[mcpcshowcaseHD]

I live in St Helens about 30 miles from Manchester Airport. Spent all morning at the airport today. It was great!

[HeathrowSpottingHD]

koool!:D

you trvel along way to heathrow then!! you should fly one time MAN-LHR ;)

may iask do you have an avation carrer?

[mcpcshowcaseHD]

I don't know what you mean sorry?

[HeathrowSpottingHD]

lol its quite a long drive from manchester way to heathrow right? , you should fly like from manchester to heathrow some time :)

[mcpcshowcaseHD]

It takes us about 4 hours and that's including a stopover at the services on the M40. I drive down because I can be there then really early when all the big 'exotic' aircraft come in (",)

[HeathrowSpottingHD]

haha true :)

wenever i stay uplate i always track the 1st ba from singapore coming it at like 4-5am lol

[mcpcshowcaseHD]

It always nice to see the first big'un coming in, very soon after that the whole sky is full of them coming in from all directions. You should try and see it in the summer if you can!

[HeathrowSpottingHD]

yeah may time or when it gets lighter earlier on day ima try get to heathrow like 5am :) only 10-15mins away but il have to go bed at like 8pm :L or just not go to bed :P
