787 at NEWQUAY

saw on a very sunny Saturday evening a BY 787 doing a few approaches and climb outs at low level at NQY around 1900...

guess doing touch and go's?

thought it was a 737 at first but it looked odd LOL
(Thomson's do a PMI flight now and again)

looked again and thought it's a bit big for a 738 and tail was all wrong,
then 767 crossed my mind...no...

then after the second climb out it dawned on me

787 lol!

Also at PIK earlier, saw it on the take off roll, really it's so quiet.

I remember being surprised by a Virgin A340 doing a touch and go at Almeria (LEI) a few years ago.

A few other surprises were a BAe Hawk doing a touch and go at Ronaldsway IOM and a French Navy twin executive style jet doing a touch and go at Birmingham airport.

Seeing them depart and arrive at MAN most days now. Looks very impressive from our tower.
