Will it fly over central manchester?

You may be able to see it, not sure. This is the flight plan for departure but it doesn't show Mcr exactly on it. <a class="postlink" href="http://www.mantma.co.uk/hangar4a.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">http://www.mantma.co.uk/hangar4a.html</a> click on SID - Pole Hill etc. Looking at it again it may well be North of Manchester but keep looking up

Same here, was working near the swamp and what I think was the beast from the east flew overhead. All the Chinese day trippers to OT started taking pictures!

Superb. Just watched that with my headphones on volume full blast to hear the crackle of the engines.

Also not as smokey as the Tupolevs.
