Ah, the TU154. AUG 91 I flew into Manch in a TAROM machine. It didn’t look the best maintained aeroplane in the world but I was impressed with the approach on to Rwy 06. It was a gin clear day via Blue 1, as I think it still was, and routed Millbrook, Woodford (XM603 looked good in the morning sunlight) and South of Knutsford. I think it must have been a visual approach from the way we were being poled around the Cheshire countryside. From about 1500 feet, the traffic on the M56 looked remarkably close to the wing tip. I think the TU154 would have made a good bomber!

chiglet. Sometime between NOV 71 and JAN 73, we probably met, depending on watches.
