Still shots from the DVD
Manchester - Second Runway : £17.95 : 90 minutes
This DVD is not available in the NTSC TV format.
Second runway, second look, at one of the UK's premier international airports. Our first Manchester video got us as close to any runway as you can get. This new 90 minute DVD does the same, but doubles the dose! With fantastic airside locations, you'll really experience what it's like to be out there, with both runways fully operational.
From an early morning start, with aircraft trailing condensation from their wings as they land, to departures in the evening sun, this 'day' [it was filmed over two months!] brings you superb pictures and sound from our professional equipment and exclusive locations. There will be many amateur videos shot from the airport's new viewing areas; they won't be like this!
Features Include:
Get under the skin of a Schreiner Airways A300F, having a 'C' check in FLS Aerospace's huge hangar. We'll take you on a tour of the aircraft from ground level up to the rudder, as you see just what's involved in a major overhaul.
Out on the ramp, we watch FLS Aerospace engineers adjusting the fan blades on an Excel Airways 737 800.
Wide-bodied twinjet action with A330s of bmi British Midland, Emirates, Air Transat, US Airways, Monarch and Airtours. 777s of Delta and Continental. Air Scandic A300. Excel 767.
Rarities like Danish Air Transport ATR42, American Trans Air Tristar in Hawaiian livery, Occitania F100.

DVD formats explained
There are several different kinds of DVD available so here's a simple guide.
DVDs are 'pressed' from a master disc.
DVD-Rs are 'burnt' from a master DVD, just like copying one CD to another.
DVDs and DVD-Rs will play in any computer DVD drive [but not in a CD drive].
All our DVDs/DVD-Rs are 'region-free', so they will play anywhere in the world. However, if you're not watching your DVDs on a computer, you will need to ensure they are compatible with your national TV system. There are two main types; PAL and NTSC.
PAL TV is used in the UK, Europe, Australia, New Zealand and many other Commonwealth countries. PAL DVDs are therefore the obvious choice for those countries.
Because PAL DVD players will also play NTSC DVDs without any adverse effect on picture quality, DVDs that were filmed in NTSC are now released as PAL/NTSC DVDs, as the same format can be used world-wide.
NTSC TV systems are used in the USA, Canada, Japan and some other countries. If you have a multi-system DVD player, this will play either NTSC or PAL DVDs, and you should also buy our PAL DVDs and PAL/NTSC DVDs.
Most US DVD players are multi-region, not multi-system, and you will need to buy our NTSC DVD-Rs and PAL/NTSC DVDs.
Some early DVD players would not play DVD-Rs. If you buy a DVD-R from us and it is not compatible with your DVD player, we will provide a full refund, including your postage.
Postage and packing charges
Not only are our postal charges some of the lowest in the UK, we don't charge any extra to ship DVDs to any destination worldwide.
The more DVDs you buy in one order, the lower the postal charges. Buy four or more and there is no postal charge at all. Buy five or more and we'll add Special Delivery or Priority Airmail at no extra cost.
That's great value!
- 1 DVD ~ £1.50
- 2 or 3 DVDs ~ £2.00
- 4 DVDs ~ Free Delivery
- More than 4 DVDs ~ Free Special Delivery or Priority Airmail
