Photo of the Day 30th October 2024.

G-BTTO, British Aerospace Advanced Turo Prop (ATP), BritishAirways Express, and sister-ship G-BRLY, parked on their stands at Manchester Airport, some time between July 1995 and June 1996.
Both are in a non-standard livery, ‘TTO being in all-white after return from lease to another airline, and ‘RLY in basic THT (Turkish Air Transport) colours.
Oddly, ‘RLY wore these colours far longer than it served with that airline.

XX522/06/G-DAWG, Scottish Aviation Bulldog T.1, in RAF colours, at City Airport Manchester/Barton, 3rd June 2023.

N114FE, Boeing 727-24C(F), Federal Express, at Basle-Mulhouse, 10th October 1996.
This is one of the most frustrating airports for spotting – to get a photo of one plane (a Rossiya Il96) parked on the opposite side of the terminal, I would have had to go back to Basle, get a train to the French city of Mulhouse, and then get a bus or train back to the airport!

 

PH-MC_, Boeing 767-31AER, Martinair Holland, at Amsterdam Schipol, either 1992, 1993, or 1996.

 

D-AIBC, Airbus A340-211, Lufthansa, at Dusseldorf Airport, either 1993 or 1996.

5N-AUF, Airbus A310-221, Nigeria Airways, parked on it’s stand at Terminal 2 at London Heathrow, as seen through the windows of Burger King in Terminal 3 early one morning, some time in the 1990s.
This was always the best place to start a spotting trip after the long, overnight National Express bus down from Manchester!

 

G-LYON, Douglas DC10-30, JMC Air, at London Gatwick, some time in the late 1990s.
