I had my weekly look at the electric version of the Hometown Rag yesterday;
Duck! - News - Stockport Express
THE largest passenger plane in the world loomed enormous over shops in Heald Green during a flying visit to Stockport on Saturday.
The gigantic Airbus A380 swooped towards the runway at Manchester Airport ... and then kept on going.
Hundreds of planespotters had crammed onto the viewing areas and car parks for a fleeting first glimpse of the 555-seat ‘super-jumbo'.
The plane, which has a wingspan nearly as wide as a football pitch, approached over Stockport and flew past the air traffic control tower. It levelled out about 50ft above the runway as if coming into land - and then climbed away, tilting its wings in a quarter roll and banking through the clouds towards Liverpool to cheers from spectators.
Journalism at it's best!
I believe it may have "visited" Cheadle as well.
