Also hear LHR on 4 or 5 Sept

Boeing 787 Manchester
 

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

Apparently the route is the following:

3 Sept - Seattle To Manchester
4 Sept - Manchester To Heathrow

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. :E 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.

3rd September when? 2020,2025.............:E

Hope it's sooner given that the world is supposed to end on 25 October!

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.

I'd love to see it at Heathrow - presume it's definately off then?

don't think it was at heathrow on the 4th, I as at the ba open day all day, and saw nothing :(
