I went to the south side, opposite the terminals, to get some photos and see it for the first time. It was very impressive with a unique sound, unlike any other aircraft I have ever heard.
It was taking an A330 engine out to Cuba for TC after G-OMYT went tec. It is due back in MAN again on Wednesday, presumably with the damaged engine and associated equipment required for the change.
Reports suggest that it was a pretty scary failure.
