EI-CTY, British Aerospace 146-200A, CityJet, in basic Virgin Atlantic colours, landing on Runway 27 at London City, 1st November 1994.

On This Day 10th October 1992.

Side view of a twin engined jet airliner taxiing from left to right. The plane is largely white, with a red stripe running along the body, covering the passenger cabin windows. There are black "United Arab Emirates" titles on the upper fuselage, in an Arabic script above the wings, and in English at the rear. The black registration "A6-PFD" is on the base of the tail, which has a large United Arab Emirates flag in the middle. Lush green grass fills the foreground, with a black roadway splitting it on the grass, with a white vehicle with a yellow roof waiting for the plane to taxi past. A large green metal frame dominates the background on the left, with the tail of a smaller white airliner nestled amongst small buildings, with trees behind. Bright but hazy sky fills the rest of the frame.

On This Day 10th October 1996.

Side view of a twin engined jet airliner with the engines mounted on the sides of the rear fuselage, parked facing to the right. The plane is largely whit, with a yellow and orange triangle on the upper forward fuselage, next to black "Tyrolean" titles. Orange and yellow diagonal stripes on the lower rear fuselage, mirrored with orange and yellow diagonal stripes over black "Tyrolean" titles. A white Ground Power Unit on a yellow trailer is parked in front of the nose of the plane. Grey concrete apron fills the foreground, with white mobile airstairs with large awnings parked on the right of the background, with tees in the distance on the left. Trees on a hill in the far distance are slowly vanishing into the grim grey sky which fills the rest of the frame.
