Side view of a white and blue, twin engined jet airliner moving from right to left along a runway. There is a red winky face on the tail that appears to be made up of the letters "T", "U", and "I", if you squint a bit, and red "Thomson" titles on the upper forward fuselage.

Green grass and bushes fill the foreground, some of the bushes partially obscuring the planes lower forward fuselage, with trees and grass in the background, under grey-blue skies. — G-TUII, Boeing 787-9 DreamLiner, Thomson, decelerating hard on Runway 05 Right at Manchester Airport, 17th March 2026.
