Side view of a high-winged, 4 engined jet airliner taxiing from left to right along a grey runway.
The plane is mostly white, with a blue belly, and "British" titles on the lower forward fuselage.
The black registration "G-GNTZ" is on the lower rear fuselage, while the tail and rear fuselage is covered in a black, grey, red, and white tartan.
In the foreground, a large group of people is gathered around, some looking at this plane but mostly staring in various, different directions, with a black mesh fence between them and the runway.
Green grass in the background leads up to trees in the distance, under cloudy white sky.

#AvGeek #aviation #planespotting #photography

Side view of a white, twin engined jet airliner with the engines mounted on the sides of the rear fuselage, flying from left to right at a very low altitude, maybe a metre above as runway, with the undercarriage lowered, flaps extended from the rear of the wings, and the nose fairly flat, suggesting it is about to land.
Green grass fills the foreground, lining the side of the runway, with more grass in the background, leading up to trees in the background.
The rather dilapidated white fuselage of a 3 engined jet airliner is visible in front of the trees, facing to the left.
Grey sky fills the rest of the frame.

#AvGeek #aviation #planespotting #photography

Side view of a white, 3 engined jet airliner facing the right but being pushed back to the left by a low-slung blue and grey tug attached to the nosewheel.
The plane has a grey belly, with blue "CaribJet" titles running diagonally down the leading edge of the tail.
The registration V2-LEO is on the upper rear fuselage in black, and there are red "TriStar 500" on the centre engine intake.

Grey concrete apron fills the foreground, as well as a large chunk of the background, partly separated by a grassed are on the left of the frame.
A pair of large, grey hangars dominate the background, with a pair of other planes parked in front - a grey and almost black twin propellor-engined airliner on the left, and a white twin engined jet airliner with a dark blue and yellow tail on the right.
It is obviously dusk, the whole scene being illuminated by bright lights, giving the whole image a slight yellow cast, with grey-blue sky visible between the hangars.

Side view of a white, twin propellor-engined airliner taxiing from left to right and slightly away from the camera, it's spinning so fast they are smeared into a blur.

Side view of a white, twin engined jet airliner taxiing from right to left.

A light layer of snow fills most of the foreground, only the taxiway the plane is on is clear, shining damply in the early morning light.
More snow covers grass in the background, with more taxiways and a runway clear, leading up to snow-covered hangars in the distance, under bright but hazy skies.

#AvGeek #aviation #planespotting #photography

Side view of a white, twin engined jet airliner with the engines mounted on the sides of the rear fuselage, parked facing to the right.

There are large green "ATI" titles on the forward fuselage, again with a red triangle in the centre of the "A".
The registration "I-DAVB" is on the lower rear fuselage in black, and the letters "VB" on the front of the cockpit roof, also in black.
The forward door on the opposite side is open, indicating that the plane is parked, even though it is nowhere near the terminal, and in fact is blocking a roadway marked on the concrete apron, which runs directly under the fuselage.
The roof of part of the terminal can be seen in the foreground, with a black metal fence around the edge.
Sets of blue mobile airstairs are lined up in the background, in front of a large grey hangar.
Parked in front of the hangar is a white and blue twin propellor-engined airliner.

#Manchester #Man #EGCC #Boeing #B737 #Britannia #ManchesterMonday
#AvGeek #aviation #planespotting #photography

Side view of a white, twin engined jet airliner parked facing to the right.
The plane has a series of dark blue stripes on the lower fuselage, getting thicker the lower they go, until eventually the belly is just solid blue.
The same happens on the tail, only they merge upwards.
There are blue "Britannia" titles on the upper forward fuselage, next to the blue head of a woman wearing an extravagant, plumed helmet.
A full, white image of that same woman appears on the tail, wearing white robes, and seated facing to the right, holding a circular shield emblazoned with the Union Flag in her right hand, and a long trident in her left.
The position and design of the circular shield actually makes it look as if she is sitting in a wheelchair.
The registration "G-BECG" is on the rear fuselage under the tail.
Concrete apron fills the foreground, with taxiways and a runway separated by large strips of grass, leading up to trees in the distance under bright but hazy skies.

D-AICL, Airbus A310-203, Lufthansa, at Manchester Airport, some time before September 1994.
The tails of the TransAir Cambodia HS-748's visible above the fuselage were a regular sight back then, and would have been considered exotic the first time you saw them, but not after a couple of years of being parked there.
