Evening pprune,

i live in Atherton, NW of MAN, the DESIG departure (24R/L) turns over my house, making the offset triangle shape directing to the East, the thing is i saw frequent aircraft especially a CX 747 around 2pm on friday ignore this final turn and go North, does anybody know why this happened? why did they ot carry out the full standard route?

Shame about the fox last night, a Monarch ran over it on 24R, shame on them, which in turn caused an Air Atlanta 747 to go around, while operations cleaned the mess up...

Thanks guys,

Scott Waterworth

Perhaps the pilot should swerve next time!?;)
