N338TZ, Gulfstream G450, rotating off Runway 23 Left at Manchester Airport, 24th August 2015.

Gat On A Sat 19th July 2025.

Low side view of a twin engined jet airliner flying from left to right at a very low altitude, with its undercarriage already tucked away, flaps extended from the rear of the wings, and the nose raised sharply, suggesting it has just taken off. The plane is mostly white, with a dark blue belly and dark blue "British Airways" titles on the lower forward fuselage, under a twisted blue and red ribbon. There are wavy red and blue stripes on the tail and the black registration "G-DOCW" on the lower rear fuselage. The engine pods, mounted under the wings, are the same dark blue. Blue skies fill the rest of the frame, with the contrail of a passing high-level jet airliner passing through the middle of the frame, heading in pretty much the same direction.

Side view of a 4 engined jet airliner parked facing to the right. The plane is almost entirely white, with dark blue "Phoenix" titles on the lower forward fuselage, partially obscured by the engines mounted under the wing. The tail has the blue outline of a circle, with the blue silhouette of a jet airliner in the middle. Green grass fills the foreground, with a red sign with the white numbers "23-05" in the bottom left corner. Trees line the horizon in the background, under flat grey sky.
