Photo of the Day 28th March 2025.

G-LYDF, Piper PA-31-350 Navajo Chieftan, Atlantic Bridge Aviation, raising it's nose as it takes off from Runway 23 Left at Manchester Airport, 15th March 2017, as seen from one of the South Side mounds.
Note the Avro RJX prototype preserved (or left to rot, depending on your point of view) and on display behind the Concorde Hangar in the background.

Side view of a white, twin propellor-engined BizProp rotating as it takes off, moving from right to left with it's nose-wheel lifted off the ground and main wheels just lifting. There is a thin gold and blue stripe running along the body, turning up into the tail and getting wider, the gold stripe wrapping over the top of the body, the blue stripe forming the front of the tail. Ther registration "G-LYDF" is on the lower part of the tail, reflecting low but strong sunlight. The plane's pilot can be seen through the cockpit side window, but the dark cabin doesn't reveal any passengers. Green grass fills most of the foreground, with more grass leading up to a large grey hangar on the right, and the forward fuselage of a white jet airliner with blue and red "Avro RJX" titles on the side on the left of the frame. Leafless trees and grey sky fill the rest of the frame.

On This Day 25th March 2015.

OY-NCM, Dornier 328JET-310, SunAir of Scandinavia, in British Airways colours, lining up on Runway 23 Left at Manchester Airport, 25th march 2015, as seen from the SouthSide mounds.
It is notable that this is (or at least, was) the only British Airways route that doesn't involve Heathrow Airport.

Side view of a white, high-winged, twin engined jet airliner taxiing from right to left. The plane has a deep blue belly and engine pods slung under the wings, and blue "British airways" titles on the lower forward fuselage. There is a twisted ribbon, blue on the inside, red on the outside, on the upper forward fuselage, covering part of the forward cabin door. There are wavy red-blue-red stripes, separated by white, on the white tail. The registration "OY-NCM" is on the rear fuselage, in blue. There are small "Operated by Sun-Air" titles under the cockpit windows. Grass lines the runway in the foreground, while a grey terminal building stretches across the frame, varying in height, taller on the left, barely reaching over the top of the plane on the right. Blue-grey sky fills the rest of the frame.
