Side view of a twin engined jet airliner taxiing from left to right along a grey taxiway lined by grass. The plane is largely white, with red belly, rear fuselage, and tail.

9H-MFS, Airbus A330-202, operated by Hi-Fly Malta for Jet2, but in basic Atlas Global colours (even though Atlas Global went out of business more than 5 years ago!), taxiing to the terminal after landing on Runway 15 at Birmingham Airport, 12th August 2025.

Side view of a twin engined jet freighter howling into the air, flying from right to left with the undercarriage being stowed, flaps extended from the rear of the wings, and the nose raised significantly, suggesting it has just taken off. The plane has a wide white stripe running along the middle of the body, with blue on the upper body and tail, and green on the belly, both outlined in red. There are black "Uzbekistan" titles on the lower forward fuselage, and the registration "UK67002" on the lower rear, with additional black text "Boeing 767-300ER" just aft of the wing root. On the tail, a stylised green flying bird is in the middle of a yellow circle that is outlined in red. Pale blue sky fills most of the rest of the frame, with the plane threading it's way between fluffs of white cloud at top and bottom.

This was a bit of a surprise…

Side view of a twin engined jet airliner taxiing from left to right along a black taxiway. The plane is mostly white, with a black belly. There are red "LoganAir" titles on the lower forward fuselage, with the black registration "G-SAJN" on the lower rear, just in front of and below the red engine pods mounted on the sides of the rear fuselage. The tail has a red, black, and white tartan pattern. Black taxiway fills the foreground, lined by green grass on the left. More grass, black taxiways, and a runway fill most of the background, leading up to trees in the distance, with houses nestled in the trees. Grey-blue sky fills the rest of the frame.

This is a regular at Manchester, but it is nice to get a different angle on it.

Side view of a high-winged, twin propellor-engined airliner flying from right to eft at a very low altitude, with the undercarriage already stowed away, flaps extended from the rear of the wing, and the nose raised sharply, suggesting it has just taken off. The plane is almost entirely white, with only the black registration "G-PEMB" on the lower rear fuselage and under the left wing outboard of the red engine pods. The pod has a pair of over-lapping red stripes, getting darker where they cross. Pale blue sky with fluffs of white cloud fill the rest of the frame.

Side view of a twin engined BizJet flying from right to left at a low altitude, with the undercarriage in the process of being stowed away, flaps extended slightly from the rear of the wings, and the nose raised sharply, suggesting it has just taken off. The plane is mostly white, with a grey, mauve, and blue stripe running along the body from the nose, getting wider as it moves rearwards and sweeping up into the lower reaches of the tail . The black registration "G-NJAE" is on the side of the engine pods, mounted on the sides of the rear fuselage. Strong sunlight is reflecting off the top of the fuselage Cloudy white sky with patches of blue fill the rest of the frame.
