As above,

Airfield was closed 0924-1000 due lighting failure on 23R/05L. Couldn’t swap to 23L as it’s only a CAT1 approach and weather conditions were below minimums for this.

Given the amount of time 23R has been closed this summer maybe it’s worth investing in a full ILS Approach for 23L…

Impact will be felt for the remainder of the day. Issues this morning compounded by a completely inadequate number of parking positions and closed taxiway sections.

In all honesty it’s indefensible now.

How long until the next closure of 23R due surface defect…

Many thanks, as always, for your information. I look forward to receiving a photo, shortly, from my usual source of the diversion as it arrived.

Be interesting to see if tomorrow’s 747 will use a remote stand or contact stand in T2 (if available of course). My bet is on stand 12, so potentially a first at MAN, two Lufthansa 747’s side by side.
 
As promised here is a photo, taken by Liam McManus, of LH470 as it arrived on diversion:

i must be a lunatic. Friday 25th Sept will see me doing a daytrip that involves me leaving my flat in Manchester at 1am and not getting back home until after midnight. All because I'm doing a Loch Ness and Scottish Highlands trip.... out of Glasgow

For some weird reason, my days off work tend to involve being out of my flat by 5am and not getting back until 10pm. Back to work and the regular "fix" of 7.40am to 7.15pm hours
