More on the A.340 at MAN can be found at http://www.otair.co.uk/ .
Departure mentions Liverpool but I don`t think it can handle an A.340, maybe one of the professionals could enlighten us , or even educate us on that.

I was aware of the date and time, what I am unsure of is , if an A.340 was capable of leaving LPL , I don`t think so

Acft will ops to MAN on 28th October due to LPL unable to handle 4 engine heavy aircraft due taxiway/runway issues. Aircraft will ferry CDG/MAN and then op MAN/JFK and then date TBA JFK/LGW then LGW/CDG
Shame about LPL but once all rwy work complete next March should be able to accept 4 engined heavies.

That is why all 4 engined charters for the Liverpool FC Champions League Final in Istanbul left from MAN, whilst most other twin heavies went from LPL.
