‘Throw Thursday 2 28th May 2026.

Side view of a high-winged, twin propellor-engined airliner moving along a black runway. The plane is largely white, with dark blue "Air UK" titles on the upper forward fuselage, immediately aft of the cockpit windows, and the black registration "G-BAKL" on a filet at the front of the white tail. There are dark-, mid-, and light-blue stripes running along the body, covering the oval passenger cabin windows, getting narrower and sweeping up along the leading edge of the tail, looking like a flag pole for a waving, half British flag. Green grass fills the foreground, lining the side of the runway, with more grass and intersecting taxiways in the background. In the distance, yellow airbridges hang off a grey building, with baggage carts and other airport vehicles parked in front, and grey and dark blue jet airliners parked on either side of the image. — G-BAKL, Fokker F-27-200 Friendship, Air Uk, decelerating hard after landing on Runway 28 Left at London Heathrow, some time in the mid 1990s.
