I love these things…

On This Day 2nd July 1993.

Side view of a high-winged, 4 engined jet airliner parked facing to the left. The plane is mostly white, with blue "Turkish" titles on the upper forward fuselage, next to a small Turkish flag. The black registration "G-6-232" is on the lower rear fuselage. The tail is red, with a white circle containing a stylised red flying bird. There are several yellow metal frames parked between the camera and the plane, partially obscuring the forward fuselage, as well as some on the right of the image, and a white set of airstairs parked next to the open forward door. Green grass fills the foreground, with trees lining the background, under grey sky.

The plane has a white upper body, with a yellow stripe separating that from the dark blue belly, the black registration "EI-EVO" on the upper rear fuselage next to a small Irish flag. The tail is dark blue, with a large, yellow winged Irish harp in the middle. At the top of the frame, the planes wingtip is dark blue, with yellow "RyanAir" text. A white set of mobile airstairs with blue "RyanAir" titles is parked at the open rear door, with a queue of people climbing to gain entry. Dramatic cloudy grey skies fill the rest of the frame.
