C-GLRN, Boeing 737-8SH, SunWing, decelerating hard after landing on Runway 23 Right at Manchester Airport, 12th October 2019., as seen from one of the South Side mounds.

This wasn't operating across The Pond, but rather doing a series of flights on behalf of TUI.

TUI regularly borrowed Sunwing planes for the summer season, with TUI planes going the other way in winter.

On This Day 11th May 2025.

Side view of a white, single engined bi-plane light aircraft parked facing to the right. There are brown, orange, red, and yellow stripes running along the body, forming a stylised image of the head and body of an eagle, with the eagles wings on both the top and bottom of the wings. The black registration "G-EGUL" is on the tail, with a grey drop shadow. Grey concrete apron fills the foreground. In the background, a couple of white and red planesd can be seen, one is a red and white military trainer with the serial "XX548" on the rear fuselage, the other being a twin propellor-engined airliner in a similar livery and the serial "XX493" on the tail. Grey sky fills the rest of the frame.

Low side view of a white and yellow, twin engined jet airliner flying from left to right at a very low altitude with flaps extended from the rear of the wings, the undercarriage safely stowed away, and the nose raised sharply, suggesting it has just taken off. The plane has a white forward fuselage, with blue billboard-style "Aurigny" titles, inverted and repeated under the belly. The rear fuselage and tail are bright yellow, with an image of a flying puffin on the tail. There are additional blue "Channel Islands" titles on the lower rear fuselage. The engine pods under the wings are the same bright yellow, with a waving white flag with a red cross in the middle, overlaid with a smaller yellow cross. Pale blue sky fills the rest of the frame.
