Side view of a high-winged, twin propellor engined airliner taxiing from left to right after landing on a runway. The plane is mostly white, with red "euromanx.com" on the lower rear fuselage, and "Manx" titles on the lower forward fuselage. The registration "OE-HBB" is on the rear fuselage in black, next to an Austrian flag (equal red-white-red horizontal bands). The tail and engine pods are red, with 3 goldenn, armoured legs, joined at the hip and running in a circle on the tail. In the foreground, the lower quarter of the frame is a grey building, with grass beyond that running to the runway. In the background, large grassed areas lead off to trees at the airfield perimeter. On the middle right of the frame, a large brown brick building with a sloping black roof is visible. Rolling hills beyond that slowly vanish in to the hazy grey sky.
