Ernest we agree on something time for the last word and agree we should agree to disagree.
I have never made light of the issue, there are concerns that need to be dealt with and will be.

My main gripes with Machester are parking fees
If you turn up on the day and go in the multi-storey, it'll be a very different story of course.

Liverpool has some of the cheapest car parking in the country and is definetly cheaper than Manchester if booked in advance plus it is 2 mins to the terminal from long stay and a max of 5-7 mins from the furthest point of the pricebuster. Liverpool is recognised for cheap car parking.

I pre-booked parking in the multi-story car park at LPL in May this year and it cost £42.50 for a stay from 14.30 on Saturday until 12.30 on Monday ie; under 2 days, and you get wet walking to the terminal if it's raining.

Ryanair to close Spanish routes in airport tax row
Ryanair is to scrap 11 routes to Madrid and four to Barcelona El Prat following the Spanish Government’s decision to double taxes at the two airports.
The routes include one between Madrid and Manchester, one from East Midlands to Barcelona, and another from Leeds Bradford to the Catalan capital.

EK A380 returned to stand, subsequently blowing freshly cut grass all over 23R
Airport was reduced to single runway ops (23L) which meant aircraft had to backtrack etc, think we lost a Small Planet and Monarch to Liverpool due to holding times.
Was very weird to hear 'Snowplough X entering runway 23R' at the end of July in work

bloody nora
Just had RYR3243 take a massive shortcut on approach to 23R, went directly over my house on base leg at about 2000/2500ft and turned final at 1500ft. It was Ryanair so what do you expect 
Has anyone ever seen a flight take that big of a shortcut on approach?

Why do these patently unqualified folk venture such silly statements? Do they want to join in "being a commercial pilot"? Ah well. this website has some good stuff and masses of clag.

.before the risk analysis numpties ruled "not less than 4 miles when turning final.".
It's in the UK AIP under para 2.21 Noise Abatement Procedures.
http://www.mantma.co.uk/pdf/eg_ad_2_egcc_en.pdf
This from para 2.21 a
iv. Unless otherwise authorised by ATC, aircraft using the ILS in IMC and VMC shall not descend below 2000 ft before intercepting the glidepath, not hereafter fly below it. An aircraft approaching without assistance from ILS or radar shall follow a descent path which will not result in its being at any time lower than the approach path which would be followed by an aircraft using the ILS glidepath.
For visual approaches, or following a visual circuit, to Runway 23R/23L the following additional limitations apply:
1. Jet aircraft shall not join the final approach at a height of less than 1500 ft aal
2. Propeller driven aircraft whose MTWA exceeds 5700 kg shall not join the final approach at a distance of less than 3 nm from the landing
threshold and at a height of less than 1000 ft aal.
and turned final at 1500ft.
Can't blame the pilot for asking for a visual if they can see the airfield and are set up and briefed for a possible visual approach and can't blame ATC if they give him clearance if it is safe and expeditious to do so.

So if it was at 1500 feet that's OK then although I'm not sure how you knew what the height was.

I am just curious to know how often you will find aircraft on a visual approach, that close to an airport on base leg.
