Side view of a white, twin engined jet airliner taxiing from right to left.

OH-LEF, Embraer ERJ-170-100LR, FinnAir, taxiing out to Runway 23 Right at Manchester Airport, 21st January 2006, as seen from the top of the T1 car park.

Frankfurt Friday 1st August 2025.

Side view of a twin-engined jet airliner facing to the left but being pushed back to the right by an out-of-frame tug attached to the nose-wheel by a long orange pole. The plane is light blue on top, with a dark blue stripe running along the body covering the passenger cabin windows, a thinner white stripe below that, and a grey belly. There are white "KLM" titles under a stylised white crown on the upper forward fuselage, with blue "Royal Dutch Airlines" on the white stripe on the forward fuselage. The white registration "PH-BDK" is on the upper rear fuselage next to small Dutch and EU flags. The tail is white, with large blue "KLM" titles under a stylised blue crown. A smaller version of this logo appears on the rather dirty, white engine pods slung under the wings. Grey concrete Apron fills the foreground, while a grey terminal building stretches across the background, with a blue air bridge hanging off the side. Bright but hazy sky fills the top of the frame.

Side view of a twin propellor-engined World War 2-era airliner on display on the roof of a large building, facing to the right, behind a low white picket fence. The plane is mostly white, with a blue stripe running along the body from the nose, covering the passenger cabin windows. Bright but hazy sky fills the rest of the frame, with an orange crane looming over everything in the background.
