Side view of a white, twin propellor-engined airliner taxiing from left to right.

HB-IZO, Saab 2000, CrossAir, taxiing to the terminal at Manchester Airport, as seen from the terraces on top of Terminal 1, some time in 1996.

Tails Tuesday 11th March 2025.

Closeup of the white rear fuselage and yellow tail of a very large jet airliner taxiing from left to right. There is the blue outline of a circle on the tail, with a stylised blue flying bird in the middle. The plane's white, upturned wingtip is visible in the bottom right corner of the framer. Blue metal fences and a yellow pre-fabricated are visible under the plane's rear fuselage. Behind the tail is a view across the airfield to a creamy-coloured hangar, under grey skies.

Close-up of the white rear fuselage and tail of a jet airliner taxiing to the left. There is an amber and red stripe running up into the lower reaches of the tail from the body, as well as red "Canada 3000" titles with an amber drop-shadow.# The registration "C-GGWD" is on the upper rear fuselage in red. The plane's red upturned wingtip is visible under the tail, with white and amber stripes running along the side. In the background, the noses and tails of several colourful jet airliners fill the frame, with trees rising up a hill in the distance.

C-GGWD, Airbus A330-202, Canada 3000, at London Gatwick, 2000 or 2001. 

This is another spectators terrace on top of a Terminal 1 that is sorely missed.
