Manc AvGeekF-GKXM, Airbus A320-214, Air France, seconds after taking off from Runway 23R at Manchester Airport, 25th March 2015.D-ADSE, Saab 2000, Deutsche BA, on final approach to Nice Airport, 9th October 1996, as seen from the beach behind CAP3000.
This aircraft pretty much has no fuselage, instead being mostly a metal frame with a seat, an engine driving a rearward-facing propellor mounted behind the seat, a mast rising up behind the seat with a freely-rotating undriven rotor at the top, wheels, and a tail.
The seat is a faded brown, with a control column in front and an engine control on the left, and nothing more.
The tail is a bright red, with the registration “G-APUD” in white.
The engine has a red cover, and is attached to a red propellor.
In the background, a cream-coloured walkway wends it way between very pale blue areas for exhibits, with sevral wooden frames visible in a blue area at the top of the frame.
This plane’s registration was cancelled in January 1989, and was still there (sans tail) in 2004!
