It's parked up in Terminal 4. Unfortunately there's a very poor view of it from the perimeter road. I only really got to see the tail.

Latest info from the MAN airport website on the 787.

The aircraft will be at Manchester on Tuesday 24th April and anyone wishing to see the aircraft is recommended to do so from the Runway Visitor Park from around 10am onwards on Tuesday morning.

The aircraft is expected to arrive at Manchester late on Monday night, at around 22.15.

However due to the fact the aircraft will be arriving during the hours of darkness, anyone wishing to view the aircraft is recommended to do so on Tuesday, from the Runway Visitor Park.

The 787 Dreamliner will depart Manchester at approximately 11:00 on Tuesday morning on a demonstration flight.

She is then due to return to Manchester shortly after and is due to land at around 13:05.

On landing, she will taxi past the Runway Visitor Park so that spectators who have come to welcome ‘her’ to Manchester will have the opportunity to view her up close before she parks up.

The aircraft will then remain at Manchester until the early hours of Wednesday morning.
