G-ORFH, ATR42-320, Gill Air, at Manchester Airport, some time between June 1996 and October 1997.

Side view of a 4 engined jet airliner taxiing from left to right. The plane is mostly white, with a blue stripe running along the body, and a grey belly. There are blue titles in a cyrillic script on the upper forward fuselage, that trans-literate into English as "Aeroflot". The tail has the registration "RA86096" at the base, and a Russian flag (equal white, blue, and red horizontal stripes" in the middle. In the foreground, several vehicles are moving around the apron area, while in the background, several white planes with blue tails can be seen parked amongst some tall lighting poles. A grey sky dominates the rest of the frame.

Front view of a high-winged, single seat light aircraft parked in a rather dim hangar. The plane is mostly white, with with a blue stripe running along the lower parts of the body and the wheel spats, and a yellow stripe running along the body from the yellow top engine cowlling panel. The registration "G-FOLD" is just discernable on the rear fuselage, with smaller blue "Avid" titles under the propellor, and "Avid Speedwing" on the side of the engine cowling, both in an italic font. IN the backb=ground, several other light aircraft can be seen in the murky depths of the hangar.
