I'm somewhat surprised nobody has started one of these yet! But here it is!
I shall be uploading various incriminating photographs/videos once I've put them on photobucket and the like. I have 906 photos to sort through amounting to 5.5GB!
In the meantime, I look forward to seeing those from other people's cameras!
Thanks all for a fantastic weekend which produced many laughs and drunken banter!

Quoting Pe@rson (Reply 1): Jesus! You were only there for a day or two!
I left for MAN on the Thursday, so these pictures are from LCY, the flight to EDI, spotting at EDI, shots in EDI city, flight from GLA-MAN, spotting at MAN and Concorde tour, Jamo's house party etc, and the flight MAN-LHR. So quite a few! I'm trawling through them at the moment.

It was a very good weekend indeed
Jordan has my camera with all the pictures (as he was losing his Q400 virginity on the way home) so I'm sure some will pop up on here soon enough!
Special thanks to Daleaholic for the lifts in his very nice smelling car on Friday night, and of course to Jamo for the excellent party on Saturday night Singstar, huge moths, tons of beer and good tunes - a night to remember!! Will post more later...
I do quite enjoy a spot of flying - more so when it's not in Economy!

Wow, very few replies so far!
I've just arrived back home, everything was roughly on time and when I left DYFlyer heading to the DLR it was looking like he'd have ample time to get accross to LHR for his flight - hopefully he'll be safely on his way back to OSL now #
I'll now start to edit through my pictures, probably took a similar number to Tom as I filled 4Gb and wasn't shooting RAW. Sorry I missed people on the Sunday, had quite a late night out in MAN so we slept in, then my firend took me for a drive out around Manchester - we got to the airport pub about 4pm and the car park was chocca, saw Luke leaving (sorry for not thinking about asking if you needed a lift to the Terminal btw ) and then headed off vaguely towards Southside.

I'm not sure about anyone else, but I can't hotlink any images into this thread - it's just not loading them. My first batch of pictures are on FaceBook though and, for those of you not able to acess them there, I've also uploaded them to my site here: http://www.annthiea2009.photos.gb.net/c1722542.html

What a weekend people!
Such a quality time on the saturday down the AVP with a good bit of shooting, the Concorde tour (excellent) and such a funny night at Jamo's house party (Thanks for having us mate)
And to top it off had a really good flight back to LHR with Tom thanks to BD which made it a really good end to the weekend!
Heres a few pics to feast your eyes on... enjoy/cringe!

Hello!
Thanks to everyone for making it a fantastic weekend, especially Trent for arranging the Concorde tour/flight to 'Baa-bay-dus' and Jamo for a great house party! It was good to meet all of you.
Some great photos so far, I have a few that might be worth uploading once edited, although only of aircraft and none of the drunkenness I'm afraid.
Quoting PlymSpotter (Reply 6): saw Luke leaving (sorry for not thinking about asking if you needed a lift to the Terminal btw )
Yeah, definitely! Stupidly, I only brought my SLR with me to Manchester though and didn't want to carry that around all night. I'm sure there will be loads from other people though.

I'm not sure whether to love or hate some of those pictures, ahh dear!
I would put mine up but unfortunately photobucket has decided I've used too much bandwidth.

Quoting JRowson (Reply 12):
Thanks to Jamo for hosting us on saturday evening and I hope your neighbours were not too pissed off with our Singstar antics.

What an absolutely fabulous weekend.
One not to be forgotten for many reasons; especially Jamo's house party.
I apologise to all people in who's face I put my camera and took unflattering close up photos. I do that when I'm intoxicated
Can't wait till next year now. MAN meet TwentyTen
Now for some pictures;
PIA 77L: AP-BGY
Trent, Luke, James, Tom, Matt and Jordan onboard Concorde
My favourite Plane Picture of the weekend
Start of the party
I don't remember why I was down here, or even being down here tbh
Absolute best photo of the weekend tbh
Best Beer Garden in the World
DunaA320 and TupolevTu154 are onboard this. Somewhere near the rear cargo hold. Prior to pushback to LHR

First Class passengers are my favourites. They can't get any further forward without an ATPL.

Quoting Luke (Reply 22): Good to see that I was captured in my typically freakish looking state on Concorde!
Acht, ye look fine. Some of the photos that I have, and others have, of me from the party are particularly freakish
Quoting DunaA320 (Reply 23): Im sure there is/was a pefrectly good explanation
Oh, there has to be. And I'm sure it was all perfectly innocent and fun too
