Tails Tuesday 6th May 2025.

Close-up of the white tail of a 3-engined jet airliner with the engines mounted on the rear fuselage, taxiing from left to right. There is a thin red and green stripe running along the body, with a wider, red diagonal stripe coming forward from the top of the centre-mounted engine intake, with the white registration "7T-VEP". The tail has the red outline of a circle with a stylised red flying bird in the middle, and a red letter "P" right at the top. The side-mounted engine pods are grey, with black "Boeing 727" text on the sides. Grey concrete apron fills the background, with a black roadway tacked on to the far side, with blue buses parked side by side along the far edge.

The plane has a blue and black stripe running along the body, with a similar stripe on the wing-mounted engine pylon, and the black registration "G-AWAJ" on the lower rear fuselage. Grey concrete apron fills the foreground, with red brick houses running across the background in the distance. Hazy grey sky fills the rest of the frame.
