Here's a couple of photographs I took of two aeroplanes on Wednesday last week within a couple of minutes of each other, one landing at, and the other taking off from, Manchester Airport. Aircraft landing at the airport come over our house at about 3,500 feet, and when going to eastern Europe and beyond double back after taking off and pass over at about 10,000 feet.
This is the first photograph, taken at 1:52pm. It's the Etihad Airways flight EY21 from Abu Dhabi and it's a Boeing 777-3FXER, registration A6-ETD.
This is the second photograph, taken at 1:54pm, and it's the Emirates flight EK18 to Dubai. This is an Airbus A380-861, registration A6-EDT.
What struck me about these planes was the similarity of the registration numbers, so much so that I had to check that I'd not written one of them down incorrectly.
