Side view of a white, twin engined jet airliner with a dark blue belly and yellow piping, flying from left to right at a low altitude, with it's undercarriage extended and flaps deployed from the rear of the wings, suggesting it is about to land. Blue "RyanAir" titles adorn the upper fuselage, next to a blue image of an Irish harp, a yellow version of said harp appearing on the blue tail. The engine pods slung under the wings also have white tops, blue bottoms, and a yellow stripe running from front to back. Blue sky fills the rest of the frame. — EI-DWE, Boeing 737-8AS, RyanAir, on final approach to Runway 23 Right at Manchester Airport, 23rd May 2019, as

Side view of a white and blue, twin engined jet airliner moving from right to left along a runway. There is a red winky face on the tail that appears to be made up of the letters "T", "U", and "I", if you squint a bit, and red "Thomson" titles on the upper forward fuselage. The rear cowling on the engine pods has moved backwards to activate the thrust reversers, which along with the flaps under the rear of the wings and the deployed spoilers on top of the wing, suggest that the plane is decelerating after landing. Green grass and bushes fill the foreground, some of the bushes partially obscuring the planes lower forward fuselage, with trees and grass in the background, under grey-blue skies. — G-TUII, Boeing 787-9 DreamLiner, Thomson, decelerating hard on Runway 05 Right at Manchester Airport, 17th March 2026.

Side view of a very purple, high-winged, twin propellor-engined airliner moving from right to left at high speed. The plane has large "FlyBe" titles on the forward fuselage in white, and diagonally on the white tail in light and dark blue. There are yellow and red bands around the rear fuselage and front of the tail. Small, white "Stobart Air" titles are over the rear cabin windows, with the registration "EI-FMJ" just below the windows, also in white. Green grass fills the foreground, while grass and trees in the background are smeared into a blur, under bright but hazy skies. — EI-FMJ, ATR72-600, FlyBe, operated by Stobart Air, accelerating along Runway 05 Left at Manchester Airport, as seen from the Runway Visitor Park, 26th January 2018.

View from almost directly underneath of a slightly grimy, white, twin engined jet airliner flying overhead from left to right at a low altitude, with undercarriage tucked away and flaps extended from behind the wings, suggesting it has just taken off. The golden outlines of feathers can be seen under the forward fuselage and the engines, and the registration "G-EUPA" can be seen on the lower rear fuselage and the underside of the left wing. Grey skies fill the rest of the frame. — G-EUPA, Airbus A319-131, British Airways, wearing the special “Olympic Dove” livery, flying over Myrtle Avenue after taking off from Runway 09 Right at London Heathrow, 3rd April 2014.

Due to stuff going on at home over the next few weeks (nothing bad, we’ve just bought a new house, and packing up, doing some updates on the new house, and keeping up with the day job is taking more of my time than I expected), the daily post will be dropping to 3 photos a day.

Give it a month, and we’ll be back to the full 6 daily photos again.

I’m also going to be experimenting with a slightly different way of doing each post, to try and improve the way posts federate across the Fediverse.

Cheers!
