Side view of a white, twin engined jet airliner with a pale blue belly, flying from left to right with the undercarriage doors in the middle of closing, flaps extended from the rear of the wings, and the nose raised significantly, suggesting it has just taken off.
There are blue "Thomas Cook[dot]com" titles on the forward fuselage, partially obscured by the wings and blue engine pods.
The rear fuselage is covered in an image of clear blue sea and grey stone buildings, overlaid with the words "Egypt where it all begins" and the registration "G-TCBB" in white.
The tail is dark and light blue, with a yellow and orange love heart in the middle.
Pale blue sky and fluffy grey and white cloud fill the rest of the frame.

Photo of the Day 27th March 2025.

G-BUDZ, Boeing 757-236, in basic Ambassador Airways colours but with NationAir Canada titles and tail logo, taxiing out to Runway 24 at Manchester Airport, some time between June and September 1992, as seen from the much-loved and much-missed terraces on top of Terminal 1 (or "The Terminal" as it was known back then!).

Side view of a white, twin engined jet airliner taxiing from right to left.
The plane has a light blue belly with thin yellow, blue, and red stripes running along the body, a design replicated on the engine pods and in reverse on the tip of the tail.
The tail has the thin grey outline of a square, containing a large grey upper case letter "N", with the inside of the square under the letter being red.
Saturated concrete apron fills most of the foreground, small splashes of raindrops can be seen on the ground, with a wide strip of grass on the right.
More grass in the background runs up to black hangars in the distance, with trees vanishing into rainy grey sky beyond that.

Side view of a white, twin engined jet airliner parked facing to the left and slightly away from the camera.
There are purple and red "FedEX" titles on the forward fuselage and on the sides of the engine pods, repeated in white and red on the purple tail.
There is a small, white, articulated truck parked next to the planes left engine, it's front turned towards the camera, lights shining down the lens.
There is a a set of white mobile airstairs by the closed forward door.
Another white and purple plane is parked behind this plane's tail.
Wide grey buildings stretch across the frame in the background, with trees beyond that, under bright but hazy sky.

Closeup of the blue tail and rear fuselage of a white, twin engined jet airliner flying from left to right at a low altitude, with the undercarriage being retracted, flaps extended from the rear of the wings, and the nose raised significantly, suggesting it has just taken off..
There is a red, orange, and yellow sunburst at the lower rear of the tail, stretching over the rear fuselage.
This same sunburst is repeated on the blue upturned wingtips.
The blue engine pods are just visible on the left of the frame, with the word "holidays" printed on the side in a vertical yellow/orange/red gradient.
There are words written on the side of the upper fuselage, but only "holidays" in front of the wing, and "trust" aft of the wing are discernible.
The registration "G-LSAC" is visible in black on the upper rear fuselage, and under the left wing tip.
In the background, thick white cloud fills the frame.

The tail has a gold and white wire-frame globe in one corner.
The planes left wing stretches across the frame in the foreground, with the left engine pod in the bottom left corner.
A heavily glazed red brick building is hiding behind some yellow metal frames in the background, with black hangars beyond that, under cloudy grey skies.
