I was in the kitchen just after 1pm today when I heard the sound of an aircraft coming over on its descent into Manchester Airport and it sounded just a bit different than the usual. Going to the back door I saw the airliner and alongside it a (presumably RAF) Typhoon fighter plane so I grabbed my camera, which unfortunately didn't have my biggest telephoto lens on, and managed to get one hurried shot before they disappeared over the rooftops opposite.
I've cropped the picture to show the planes better and you can read all about the incident here. Flightradar24 told me that the plane was a Qatar Airways Airbus A330-302, registration number A7-AEH and on flight QR23 from Doha to Manchester.
