Shed, an absolute classic. I trust a copy has winged its way to the MAN department in question.
There is just 1 possible worrying scenario that I mention with trepidation. Just supposing SQ were to pull their MAN service at the end of this summer, before CX starts to HK in December and that MAN know this. (Of course, the press release and M.E.N articles would still be wrong as CX wouldn't be the first direct flights to the Far East - MH as well as SQ). A terrible thought, and it has to be said that the SQ timetable still shows the flights via Munich through next winter. Indeed, the hope would be that the CX service may even prompt SQ to fly non-stop again from MAN as they did for a number of years.
Edit: If people had done their homework they might also have learned how determined SQ were to get MAN flights 28 years ago. Some of us remember those 1 page adverts in the British Press - "We want to fly to Manchester but the government won't let us". Rumour has it that Mrs Thatcher wasn't best pleased and told her Minister and Civil Servants to sort it.
