Bird strike during take off and emergency landing.

I bet it would have been depressing to be on board this flight! Nice to see an Alitalia jet back at Manchester, this charter was flying AC Roma fans back from their 7-1 defeat against Man United FC. Ouch!

Nicholas Bamforth and I filmed this giant of the skys together for your viewing pleasure. Sit back, relax, and enjoy!

Here's three of the many airliners that cross the Atlantic from Manchester every day. Features US Airways A330, Continental 757 and the new Delta 767-400 service to JFK- watch how the 757 'bounces' across the runway as she taxies out. Her winglets look superb!

23R departures on a busy Monday afternoon at MAN - Air Canada 767-200 (first AC flight of the year), Delta 767-400, two Virgin Atlantic 747-400s, Travel City Direct 747-300, Cargo Dragonair 747-400BCF, US Airways A330-300 (new colour scheme), and Saudi Arabian 777-200.

Shots like these make it all worthwhile. A jumbo jet- in golden winter's sunshine- roars into Manchester, followed by the closest encounter to a moving 747 you'll ever see. A graceful smooth takeoff into a perfect blue sky finishes the scene perfectly. Note the crowds viewing the plane at the start.

This flight was part of the My Travel Enthusiast's Day, the package included a flight aboard an A321, and as some of my friends were onboard I decided to film their departure and return. Next time, tell them to do the missed approach at Manchester, not Liverpool!

Flight LS880 Alicante-Manchester. Takeoff, shots of Alicante and Manchester cities, sunset, and shots of the plane from ALC terminal and the MAN tarmac all included. See the Doritos that over-inflated due to air pressure! Concorde, Omni DC10 and Air Madrid A310 also at the end.

Flight LS879 Manchester-Alicante. I was thrilled to get to fly on one of Jet2's beautiful new 757s; I couldn't resist filming her as I walked out to climb onboard. Nice to see another LS jet landing before takeoff, and other planes in the sky flying alongside us- Enjoy.

For everyone who loves the Boeing 747. We saw EIGHT of these beauties at Manchester in the space of 2hrs 30mins- Corsair-400, China Airlines Cargo-400F, two PIA-200s, two Virgin Atlantic-400s, Excel Airways-300 and an Air Atlanta -300.
