Bonus Photo of the Day 16th April 2025.

Side view of a white, twin propellor-engined airliner parked facing to the left on concrete. There is a thin, blue, red, and orange stripe running along the body from the nose, getting wider as it moves rearwards, until it sweeps up towards the tail, which is almost entirely blue, with the registration "G-0JMAC" in white, and a white, winged, circular logo at the top. There are dark blue "Jetstream 41" titles on the upper forward fuselage. There is a white, concrete weight on the ground under the left wing-tip, that would normally be attached by a rope to the underside of the wing. Grey concrete apron fills the bottom of the frame, , leading up to trees in the distance. Fluffy white and grey clouds fill the top of the frame, with patches pf blue peeking through.

G-JMAC, British Aerospace Jetstream 4100, owned by the Speke Aerodrome heritage group, in the manufacturers in-house demonstrator livery, on display in the rear car park of the Crowne Plaza hotel, Liverpool John Lennon Airport (formerly Speke Airport), 11th March 2025.

This is probably the best preserved exhibit here, but is also the youngest exhibit.

The large car park here is actually the apron area for the original terminal building, which has now been converted into a hotel.

Wing Wednesday 16th April 2025.

Close-up of the wing of a rather boxy, white, high-winged, twin propellor-engined airliner parked facing to the right. There is a light and dark green stripe running along the body, under the almost-square passenger cabin windows. The long, thin wings are supported by a white strut attached to a white pod attached to the bottom of the fuselage. Grey concrete apron fills the background.
