Bonus Photo of The Day 18th August 2026.

Side view of a high-winged, twin propellor-engined , military amphibious aircraft flying from left to right and slightly away from the camera at a very low altitude, with undercarriage lowered and flaps slightly extended from the rear of the wings, and the nose slightly raised, suggesting it has just taken off. The plane is mostly white, with dark grey, almost black patches around the nose and cockpit, and the upper rear fuselage, and green and brown camouflage on top of the wings. There are a blue, white, and red roundel, outlined in yellow, and a large, red, upper-case letter "Y" on the side of the rear fuselage, the black serial "JV928" on the base of the tail, and a blue, white, and red fin flash towards the top of the tail. Large blue and red roundels are on the upper outer panels of the wings. Green grass fills the foreground, lining the side of the runway, with more grass on the other side of the runway leading up to a grey, drum-shaped hangar on the left of the frame, and a couple of small aircraft painted yellow in the middle. Trees, bushes, and green fields in the distance lead off to meet flat grey sky at the top of the frame.
