G-BPJD, Socata Rallye 110ST Galopin, parked in front of the control tower at Manchester Barton, some time in the 1990s.

On This Day 13th March 2017.

Side view of a white, very large, 4 engined jet airliner moving from right to left, with it's thrust reversers towards the rear of the inner engine pods open, suggesting that it is slowing down after landing. The plane has large golden "Emirates" on the side of the forward fuselage, first in English, then in an Arabic script. A modified version of that Arabic script is on the sides of the engine pods. The flag of the United Arab Emirates is emblazoned across the rear fuselage and tail. Grass lines either side of a black runway in the foreground, with a grey building just about visible beyond this plane, with trees beyond the, under cloudy grey skies.

Side view of a grey, twin engined jet airliner parked facing to the right. A black stripe sweeps from the lower forward fuselage to the upper rear, wrapping around the nose and cockpit, and the lower rear fuselage, as well as most of the tail, outlined in a light grey. Grey tarmac and green grass fill the foreground, with more grass and trees visible under the plane in the background, leading up to an industrial landscape in the distance, under bright but hazy skies.
