10,000 plane-spotters expected at Manchester airport to welcome 787 Dreamliner
Ditto re. WFH Charley 
although a few of us tend to have a sneeky look in the office aswell when something interesting's happening.
As for BOE787, as of now (0948L) she's now headed north and is over The Pennines east of MAN at FL160.

I see that the Russian Carrier Transaero Airlines signed an order for four Dreamliners on April 9th. with delivery of first aircraft expected 'later this year'.
If this delivery is correct, I feel there will be some airlines a bit more than pigged-off having endured delays in the region of four years.
