    Photo of the Day 29th October 2024.

Side view of a white, twin engined jet airliner taxiing from left to right. The plane has golden "Emirates" titles on the upper forward fuselage in English and an Arabic script. The same Arabic script is used as a decorative logo on the engine cowling. The rear fuselage and tail is covered in green, white, and black stripes with a vertical red bar, which you eventually realise is the flag of the United Arab Emirates. A large area of green grass, criss-crossed by grey taxiways, fills the foreground, with a large, green, metal open box-like structure stretches across most of the background, under typical grey Mancunian skies.

    On This Day 29th October 1993.

Side view of a cream-coloured, 3 engined jet airliner with the engines mounted on the rear fuselage, taxiing from left to right. There is a red and green cheatline running along the body, covering the passenger cabin windows, and red "Royal Air Maroc" titles on the upper forward fuselage. Their tail has a green, five pointed star leaving a nearly circular red trail, and red "RAM" titles, with the registration "CN-RMR" on the centre engine air intake. Grey tarmac fills the foreground, with a circular terminal building in the background on the right. In the distance, a large group of BizJets are parked between a couple of buildings, with trees beyond that, under grey skies.

    Tails Tuesday 29th October 2024.

Closeup of the yellow rear fuselage and tail boom and blue tail of a helicopter parked facing to the right. The tail fan is built in to the tail, an open hole with a blue hub in the middle. The top of the tail has a white cross with swooshes suggesting a rotating rotor. The black registration "G-NWAA" is on the tail boom, under a smaller, grey "NWAirAmbulance.org.uk" web address. Green grass fills the background below the tail boom, while trees are visible in the distance above it, and a brown brick building is on the left, under grey skies.
