It may or may not be raining - this is Manchester, after all, so if it's not raining right now, just wait a few minutes.

It was certainly raining earlier, judging by that tarmac…

On This Day 12th May 2025.

Slightly blurry side view of a white, twin engined BizJet, taxiing from right to left. The plane has a thin red and grey stripe running along the body from the nose, getting slightly wider as it moves rearwards. A slightly thicker version of this stripe runs along the top of the tail. The grey registration "N7070A" is on the tail. Grey concrete apron fills the foreground, with a large area of green grass in the background leading up to another taxiway and a runway in the distance.

Side view of a white, twin engined jet airliner taxiing from right to left. The plane has a thick yellow and black stripe running along the body, covering the passenger cabin windows, and black "Monarch" titles on the upper forward fuselage. There is a large, stylised, black crown on the white tail, resembling an upper-case letter "M". The top of a black chain link fence stretches across the bottom of the frame, with green grass filling the rest of the foreground. Bright but hazy white sky fills the rest of the frame.

Side view of a white, twin engined jet airliner taxiing from left to right. The plane is mostly white, with a black belly, and red "Air Charter" titles on the upper forward fuselage, and black "EuralAir" titles on the upper rear. There is a thick black stripe across the tail, overlaid with a thick diagonal red band. The black registration "F-GJDL" is on the rear fuselage, under the tail. Grey concrete apron fills most of the foreground and part of the background, with rows of grey freight trolleys lined up in the distance, with brown brick buildings and trees beyond that.
