Comet arrival into Manchester

Post by VEGAS »

Hi guys,

A short flight in the Comet this afternoon. As I was about to touchdown at Manchester, I took a few snaps.

Note the white building. Its actually a pub! Its called The Airport Hotel and sits at the end of runway 23. Its the perfect place to sit and while away the hours with a pint and watch all the activity in and out of Manchester. Heaven! ;) :)
