Boeing 787 Manchester

Apparently the Boeing 787 is coming into Manchester on Sept 3 at 11:35am. Is this still going ahead?

Damn, there goes my claim to fame of being the only ATCO at an English airport to clear the Dreamliner to land or take-off. I shall have to get a new chat up line now.

I have read on another Manchester Forum that the proposed visit has now been cancelled.

SilentHandover.. Ne'er mind, mate. I told all the birds I was a Concorde controller, but it never worked... possibly because my mode of transport was a Reliant Robin!!

Would appreciate any updates as I'd like to see this aeroplane.

No slots in Chroma and I've heard from a few official sources it isn't happening.

I though the 787 was supposed to come into MAN so it can show it off to ZB & TOM

If they wanted to show it off to TOM & MON they would fly it to LTN where the head offices are.
