Captain Whiteman prepares to open the throttles to accelerate Air Atlantique's heavily loaded DC-6B up Manchester's Runway 06 "hill" bound for Dublin with Ireland's Sunday newspapers which had been printed in the city. We also had other Aer Lingus cargo aboard. On our positioning flight back to Coventry, we had to shut down a rough-running engine during our initial approach in a snowstorm - real flying!
