Closeup of the tail of a jet airliner taxiing from right to left.
The plane is mostly white, with a vivid red tail and upturned wingtip.
The tail has large white “Virgin” titles in a pseudo-handwritten font, and the white letters “NK” in the top rear corner.
In the background, a terminal building can be seen under the tail, with several planesparked in front, all distorted by the heat pumping out of the engines, as if looking at it through jelly.
A vivid, and uncharacteristically Mancunian, blue sky with occasional wisps of white or grey cloud fills the rest of the frame.

This was it’s first visit to IAT, and many spotters were waxing lyrical over this being its first visit to the UK.
I just had to point out it had been going to a small show just outside of Manchester every year since 1993…
