Can only help out with Manchester. Nothing too much to get excited about. Landing runway 06R/24R, take off runway 24L/06L except for a spell of single runway ops (24R/06L) in the middle of the day. If landing on 24R there is a hump at the touchdown zone after which the runway slopes away, which takes a bit of getting used to. When departing, Tower like you to tell them which SID you've been cleared for on first contact. As far as I know, this requirement is not written down anywhere. One other thing; be careful taxying around the holding points for 24L. There's been at least one incident in recent times of a wingtip collision. I wish I could help out with the others but someone else will have to. Good luck.
