Bonus Photo of the Day 4 31st December 2025.

G-BGTR, Piper PA-28-140, Liverpool Flying School, outside one of the old hangars at the original site of Liverpool Speke, some time in the early 1990s.
The original Speke Airport is now mostly buried under an industrial park, and the original terminal is now a hotel.
This (and the old terminal) is the only part of the original Speke Airport I've ever experienced, and even then only because the bus to Liverpool stopped outside, it was literally miles from the terminal - seriously open your fave mapping app, look up "Liverpool Airport", then look up "Crowne Plaza" - that is the original terminal building, now a hotel.
Now, off to the east, look for "Banks Road", then for "Skyhawk Avenue" - that is pretty much where this hangar was.
It's not surprising that they moved the General Aviation area to the side of the new runway, given that many training flights took longer to taxi out than they actually flew for!
