Aeroflot Russian Airlines Boeing 767-300ER at Manchester Airport

VP-BAX - I have never seen an Aeroflot aircraft at Manchester before (apart from 1 Aeroflot Cargo aircraft ages ago). It was quite a surprise to me to look over the other side of the car-park and see this beast sitting on a maintenance apron. After a few hours it got pulled to a remote stand.

Anyone with any info regarding this aircraft or why it was a Manchester please contact me and I can put more info in the description!

a BA 767 came into egcc today i saw itpass as i was cleaning the car, do u know anything about that?

[samrammstein13]

It deinetely unusual as BA only operate their shuttle service from Manchester . They stopped using 767s and 757s last year.

[liamr685]

deffinatly a BA 767 with the RR engines 100% posative, between 2pm-4pm, i was washing the car at the time and watched it fly overhead

[samrammstein13]

I left EGCC at 2PM so I probably just missed it. Maybe a divert.

[liamr685]

sating that i might have seen this bird n got a dodgey look at the engines

[liamr685]

Nope, it was deffinatly a wide body and it had the ba livery 100% posative

Great catch! I saw one of these excactly a year ago... maybe it's an annual thing?

[blueb0g]

Maybe you were mistaken... an A321 with the IAE 2500 engines? They look similar to the RB211s.

I'd like AA or DL to send in their wingletted 76's. Or at least a UK airline with 767's based at MAN to have them retro fitted :D

[samrammstein13]

Apart from Thomson + Delta 767s (+ the usual lot) I didn't see anything out of the ordinary.

[Dudeboy4000]

well it would of come up on TAS but the aeroflot was the only main 767 movement of the day. If there had been the BA 76, then it would of been reported

[liamr685]

it may have beenn l8r, because was washing the car around 2-4pm and i then cleaned the inside around 6-7, but i deffinatly saw a BA 767 fly over, it had the RR engines and the BA livary, im 100% posative i saw it

[Dudeboy4000]

i was around at those times and i can tell you, no BA 767 came in. Unless it did and i some how managed to miss it....
