Side view of a white, 3 engined jet airliner with the engines mounted on the rear fuselage, parked facing to the right.

UR-42544, Yakovlev Yak-42, Avia Express, parked across it's gate at Manchester Airport, some time in 1992 or 1993, as seen from the top of the |Terminal 1 car park.

The airport didn't have a towbar to fit this type, which explains the jaunty angle at which this is parked, to enable it to move away under it's own power once it completes the turn.
