G-LUSO, Pilatus PC-12/47E, Eurokey Aviation, about to touch down on Runway 23 Right at Manchester Airport, 6th February 2023, as seen from the terminal 3 car park.

One of the airports fire training rigs, the blue, unflown and uncompleted fuselage of a British Aerospace ATP, can be seen in the background.

Side view of a white, twin engined jet airliner with the engines mounted on the sides of the rear fuselage, taxiing from left to right. The plane is mostly white, with a dark and light blue stripe running along the body, covering the passenger cabin windows, a grey belly. There are dark blue "Air Provence" titles on the upper forward fuselage, and the blue registration "F-GCVM" on the upper rear, under the tail. Grey concrete apron marked with yellow lines fills the foreground, with a sandy brown building stretching across the background from the left.

Low, almost head-on view of a white, single engined light aircraft with a bulbous, heavily glazed cockpit canopy in front of a fuselage that is basically a shrouded propellor engine in the middle of a long, straight wing. There are long tail-booms extending part way through each of the wings, with the fixed undercarriage attached to the front of the booms. The plane is heavily tilted to the side, obviously performing a spirited flying display routine. Grey sky fills the rest of the frame.
