Assuming the MEN story is correct that the police knew that the man knew that the police were waiting for him, could they not have gone to the aircraft to apprehend him? Or are there some rules preventing this?
Not really. Police can, and do, arrest people on the airbridge/gate area. However, as usually is the case there should be no issue in getting the passenger through the terminal to immigration where apprehending is probably easier and somewhat safer than in the confines of an aircraft or airbridge.
AFAIK, the UK border at an airport is more of a clerical formality and once you're on the ground you are very much in the UK.

My daughter is on that flight. I flew out tom634 yesterday ex Luton and the crowd were not happy. I departed at 2010 (30 minutes early) and left my daughter there. Speaking with TCX duty manager today, there was a problem with a landing system, had an emergency landing (although routine with fire tenders on standby), put all passengers in a local hotel. Flying out part today, due at 1800 local and are looking at departing 0030 local 14th. (Information is really hard to come by so if anyone hears anything let me know so that I can keep my daughter updated.
Cheers

Ryanair
j636
You have to say looking at that schedule it is certainly set up at present to have just two operational aircraft from the Manchester base this winter.
There is a fairly impressive number of away based Ryanair visiting though most days but still no Madrid bookable. Rzesnow is also not bookable either but there are a couple of gaps in the based schedule on some days for more flights.
Beavais on Monday, Wednesday and Friday departs at 14.00 and returns 23.15, which is pretty typical for any FR BVA flight but also takes the Manchester based aircraft away for a good few hours.

It's from the 'I love MCR' campaign after the riots.
I love Manchester campaign grows in strength | UK news | guardian.co.uk

What relevance is there in the "MCR"?
If MAN's code was MCR then it would be of greater relevance at the airport.

On the tarmac - next to T3 - there is a concrete circle with "I (heart) MCR" painted onto it, visible from above.
Hope nobody mistakes it for an helicopter "H"....

Yes, 'MCR' was the old 06 outer marker beacon if I recall correctly. MCH was the on-airfield non-directional beacon. All were removed some time ago, but the on-airfield onmi-directional beacon still chimes out 'MCT' in Morse every few seconds if you tune in 113.55 MHz.
The I Love MCR thing was for the post riots campaign last summer. Who remembers the Olympic rings flower display beside the Fantail in support of the Olympic bid for 1996, or the 2003 UEFA footballs on various grass islands?

These were all at the airport; some spent some time outside on the airfield adjacent to taxiways at the end of T1 Pier B to publicize the event. Led to some interesting exchanges with ATC - Roger, mooove along the taxiway was one.
Also had some fun getting them into the restricted zone....

Flying to Bremen with FR next month, am I going to suffer on my return with the T3 immigration queues? Last time I flew from T3 in March with FR to Faro outgoing didn't start well due to queuing for 30mins at check in even though I had checked in online I only wanted to drop my bag off but was told to check in and I think it was shift change.
On another note, haven't used T1 since January with LH (my favourite terminal) have the airbridges that were replacing been done? I think I noticed that stand 31? was not in use due to a new airbridge being installed don't know about any others but I know stands 6, 8 & 10 on Pier B needs replacing and with a direct link into the terminal instead of down the stairs, through the dingy walkway and up the stairs, how bad does it look for incoming passengers, especially for those who haven’t been here before, stand 12 airbridges and gate area put the rest of this pier to shame!
