Photo of the Day 20th December 2024.

G-BMAB, Douglas DC-9-15, British Midland, taxiing out to runway 24 at Manchester Airport, some time before September 1994.
    Frankfurt Friday 20th December 2024.
N177DN, Boeing 767-332ER, Delta Air Lines, at Frankfurt Airport, either 1993 or 1996.
    Fuselage Friday 20th December 2024.
G-VYGL, Airbus A330-243, Jet2, on final approach to Runway 23 Right at Manchester Airport, 26th May 2023, as seen from the junction of Ringway Road and Shadowmoss Road.
This is actually an A330-243MRTT (Multi-Role Tanker Transport) Voyager KC2, owned by a company called Air Tanker, and forms part of the RAF’s reserve fleet, but has had all the tanker equipment removed, and has been leased out to Jet2 to make some money.
It can be recalled in time of emergency and refitted to full military spec in a couple of weeks, if necessary, but in the meantime is ferrying holidaymakers around.
Side view of a blue, twin engined jet airliner with the engines mounted on the sides of the rear fuselage, taxiing from right to left. The plane has a grey belly, and a thin white stripe running along the body. There are white "British Midland" titles on the upper forward fuselage, just aft of a red "BM" logo, which also appears on the tail in a larger form. The registration "G-BMAB" is on the lower rear fuselage in black. Wide strips of green grass either side of a black runway dominate the background, with the grey and dark blue forward fuselage of another airliner poking into frame on the left just behind this plane. A black hangar stretches across the frame in the distance.
Side view of a white, twin engined jet airliner taxiing from left to right. The plane has a bare metal belly, and a thin red and thick black stripe running along the body, the black part covering the passenger cabin windows. There are black "Delta" titles on the upper forward fuselage, just aft of a black triangle with a red base that covers the forward door, a logo repeated on the tail with white "Delta" titles overlaid, as well as on the white engine pods under the wings, with black "Delta" titles underneath. The wing of another plane stretches across the foreground from the bottom left, the rest of the foreground filled with grey concrete apron. A grey terminal building stretches across the background, with another plane similar to this one parked facing away from the camera, connected to that building by a blue and grey airbridge. Part of that terminal building extends slightly higher than the rest on the left, clad in black, with grey "Frankfurt Main" signage, with plumes of smoke coming from the top. More buildings lie beyond that, under blue skies.
Close-up of the lower forward fuselage of a white jet airliner flying from left to right at a very low altitude with the undercarriage lowered. The plane has large, red, billboard-style "jet2" titles on the forward fuselage, and the black letters "GL" on the open portion of the nose-wheel doors. The wing root is visible on the left of the frame, the wings sprouting from the lower section of the fuselage. Blue sky fills the rest of the frame, with wisps of white fluff in the lower right corner.

Side view of a white, twin engined jet airliner with the engines mounted on the sides of the rear fuselage, taxiing from left to right. There are a series of coloured stripes (blue, yellow, red, white, and black) on the lower forward fuselage, running under the body from just below the passenger cabin windows, with black "Scandinavian" titles just above the windows. There are large black "SAS" titles outlined in gold on the tail, and the registration #"LN-RLA" on the lower rear fuselage. The white engine pods on the rear fuselage have coloured squares representing the flags of Sweden, Norway, and Denmark. The name "Are Viking" is on the nose under the cockpit windows. The shadow of a terminal building fills the foreground, with bright sunlight lighting the concrete apron in the background. Large yellow metal frames are stored behind a red metal fence right at the back of the frame.

SX-ATF, Boeing 737-406, GainJet, parked outside the BizJet terminal next to the RVP at Manchester, dropping off players from the England national team based in the North-West the day after their European Championship qualifier match against Switzerland in Basle the night before.
This literally stopped on the taxiway, several players disembarked, then it went straight to the runway and left!

Side view of a white, high-winged, twin propellor-engined airliner taxiing from left to right. There is a thin red and blue stripe running along the lower body, with large red "CSA" titles on the upper forward fuselage, and smaller blue "CeskoSlovenske Aerolinie" (CzechSlovak Airlines in English) titles on the lower forward fuselage. There are red, blue, and red triangles on the tail, small at the top but growing larger on the way down, and the registration "OK-XFB" in black on the rear fuselage. A sandy-brown building stretches across the background, with runways, taxiways, grassed areas, and a large hangar with several military cargo planes parked outside all slowly vanishing in to haze in the distance, under grey skies.
Close-up of the forward fuselage of a white jet airliner parked facing to the left. There is a purple and gold stripe running along the body, just below the passenger cabin windows, and the letters "TF" at the front of the nose-wheel doors, which are open on the bottom left of the frame. Both pilots can be seen through the cockpit windows, The forward cabin door is outlined in grey, and has red markings showing how to open it. Just aft of the door is the logo of the England football team, a white shield outlined in blue, with 3 stylised blue lions lying down, stacked on top of each other, surrounded by red roses with white centres, with a blue bar containing the word "England" in white upper-case letters over the top of the shield. In the background, grass and trees can be seen in the distance over the planes nose, with grey sky filling the rest of the frame.
