saw on a very sunny Saturday evening a BY 787 doing a few approaches and climb outs at low level at NQY around 1900...

guess doing touch and go's?

thought it was a 737 at first but it looked odd LOL
(Thomson's do a PMI flight now and again)

looked again and thought it's a bit big for a 738 and tail was all wrong,
then 767 crossed my mind...no...

then after the second climb out it dawned on me

787 lol!

I remember being surprised by a Virgin A340 doing a touch and go at Almeria (LEI) a few years ago.

A few other surprises were a BAe Hawk doing a touch and go at Ronaldsway IOM and a French Navy twin executive style jet doing a touch and go at Birmingham airport.

Seeing them depart and arrive at MAN most days now. Looks very impressive from our tower.
