Side view of a very large, white, 4 engined jet airliner moving from right to left .
The plane is mostly white, with purple "Virgin Atlantic" titles on the upper forward fuselage, and a scarlet red rear fuselage and tail, with white "Virgin" titles.
The upturned wing-tips have part of a waving Union Flag.
The engine pods slung under the wings are the same scarlet red, with the rear 1/3rd of the cowling having moved backwards to expose the thrust reversers, which along with the flaps hanging from the rear of the wings is slowing the plane after landing.
Taxiways lined with strips of grass fill the foreground, with a grey terminal building with several planes parked in front of it stretching across the frame, under grey-blue skies.

Side view of a very large, white, 4 engined jet airliner being towed from right to left.
The plane is almost entirely white, with blue "Air France" titles between the upper and lower decks at the front of the fuselage, and a series of blue diagonal stripes (and a single red stripe) on the tail.
The blue registration "F-BPVP" is on the upper rear fuselage, just in front of the tail.
A white and blue tug is attached to the nose, pulling the plane across the frame.
Tall lighting poles are scattered around the background, with grassed aeras and vehicle parks separating taxiways, slowly vanishing into haze in the distance.

Tails Tuesday 2 13th May 2025.

G-VGIN, Boeing 747-243B, and G-VOYG, Boeing 747-283B, both Virgin Atlantic, at London Gatwick, some time in the 1990s.

Close-up of the rear fuselage and tails of a pair of very large, white, 4 engined jet airliners parked facing to the right.
The planes are both mostly white, with red tails with white "Virgin" titles, and red engine pods.
The further plane has the red registration "G-VGIN" on the lower rear fuselage.
Baggage trucks, coaches, and other airport vehicles are scattered around the apron around them.
A grey terminal building stretches across the background, with grey and dark blue airliners parked in front.
Trees slowly vanish into haze in the distance, under grim grey skies.

Side view of a very large, white and green, 4 engined jet airliner facing to the left but being pushed back to the right by a lime green tug attached to the main wheel by a long orange pole.
The plane is mostly white, with a thick green stripe running along the body, covering the passenger windows on the lower deck, and a grey belly, with white piping.
The tail is mostly green, with 2 thick white stripes in the middle.
The engine pods under the wings are grey, with a thick green stripe.
There are red "Cathay Pacific" titles on the upper forward fuselage, between the upper and lower deck windows.
A brown building stretches across the frame from the right in the background, with a white, 3 engined jet airliner just taxiing behind it.
Trees line the horizon, under grim grey skies.

#AvGeek #aviation #planespotting #photography

Side view of a white, 4 engined jet airliner taxiing from left to right with flaps extended from the rear of the wings, suggesting it has just landed.
The plane has purple "Virgin Atlantic" titles on the upper mid-fuselage, with an image of a woman wearing a red mini-dress flying through the air and trailing a Union Flag positioned under the cockpit windows on the forward fuselage.
The tail is a bright metallic red, with seemingly hand-drawn "Virgin" titles.
The engine pods slung under the wings are the same metallic red.
The squared-off up-turned wingtips have a waving modified Union Flag.
Green grass fills the foreground, with trees dominating the background, under grey-blue skies.

Closeup of the white rear fuselage and yellow tail of a very large jet airliner taxiing from left to right.
There is the blue outline of a circle on the tail, with a stylised blue flying bird in the middle.
The plane's white, upturned wingtip is visible in the bottom right corner of the framer.
Blue metal fences and a yellow pre-fabricated are visible under the plane's rear fuselage.
Behind the tail is a view across the airfield to a creamy-coloured hangar, under grey skies.

View from below of a very large, white, 4 engined jet airliner flying from left to right at a very low altitude, with its undercarriage almost fully retracted, flaps deployed from the rear of the wings, and the nose raised sharply, all suggesting it has just taken off.
The tail and the 4 engine pods slung under the wings are a bold, bright scarlet red, with white, seemingly handwritten "Virgin" titles on the tail.
The registration "G-VROY" is on the lower rear fuselage and under the end of the left wing.
Blue sky fills the rest of the frame.
