We sometimes get a Russian freight plane coming over us on its way to EMA - i guess we're about 4-5 miles away as the crow flies, and when that hulk comes over so slowly it looks like its stopped mid-air!

It's an oddity, the bigger the plane, the slower it seems to fly.

I tried to track a FLYBE flight last weekend -- nothing showed, just got a message saying something like - 'tracking not enabled'.......

like i said a few times, its most likely there was a warning indicator lamp illuminated in the flight deck - and the crew has to follow a pre-designated protocol if such a light is illuminated.

Have a look on plane mad forum
manchester airport section,
it mentions air-con on their somewhere,
I work in airfreight and used to be a plane spotter yeara ago, if something flies overhead i still get the plane finder app out on the iphone, its fascinating to see where the a/c has been in the last week or two, some do 3-4 return trips aday
