Bonus Photo of the Day 2nd October 2025.

G-BRLY, British Aerospace Advanced Turbo Prop (ATP), THT on static display at the Woodford Air Show, 27th June 1992.
This was delivered to THT about a week after this photo was taken, but only lasted a couple of months, being returned by the end of the September.
It carried these basic colours for a lot longer, though…
