AP-BGL Manchester Airport 2007

            PIA Boeing 777-240ER AP-BGL approaches the aviation viewing park at Manchester Airport on a chilly day sometime in the winter of 2007. The aircraft was delivered to Pakistan International Airlines in March 2004 and remained with the airline throughout until its withdrawal in February 2020 with the aircraft still stored in Karachi.

While the 777 is an impressive aircraft they (the PIA ones) were arguably not popular at the time with spotters in Manchester as they displaced PIA's fleet of 747 classics which were far more entertaining for their painfully long take-off rolls and climbouts which arguably relied on the gentle curvature of the Earth to get them airborne... PIA were a big carrier at Manchester, operating 4-7 flights per day (some flights continued on to North America) but the airline has been banned from European and British airspace for a number of years now, hopefully they will return soon.
