Side view of a twin engined jet airliner taxiing from right to left on a taxiway. The plane is mostly white, with dark grey "Helvetic Airways" titles on the forward fuselage, with a red rear fuselage and tail overlaid with a large white cross, a logo repeated on the up-turned wing-tips. The black registration "HB-JVO" is on the upper rear fuselage. A grey runway runs along the bottom of the screen, separated from this taxiway by grass, with more grass in the background leading up to a large grey building on the right, and trees on the left, under blue-grey skies.

Side view of a twin engined jet airliner rolling from right to left along a grey runway. The plane is mostly white, with a thick orange stripe running from over the top of the forward fuselage, down and back , to meet the lower rear fuselage just aft of the wing. The front portion of this orange stripe has white "EasyJet" titles. If anything, it looks like this plane is wearing a bandana. The plane has a bright orange rear fuselage and tail, with white "EasyJet" titles, while the engine pods slung under the wings are also bright orange, as are the vertical wingtips. Green grass fills the foreground, lining the side of the runway, with more grass in the background running off into the distance. Another jet airliner in a similar livery is behind this planes tail on the right of the frame. Grey-blue sky fills the rest of the frame.

G-LGNH, Saab SF-340B, operated by LoganAir on behalf of FlyBe, just seconds after taking off from Runway 23 Left at Manchester Airport, 18th August 2015, as seen from the Western end of SouthSide.
Most of 23Left/05Right is easily visible from raised mounds running alongside the runway just outside the airport perimeter, with a gap of 3-400 metres where it crosses a road and a small river valley.
The Eastern end is fairly easy to access, but the other end involves a LOT of walking if you don't have a car, and in fact is impossible in anything other than really sunny weather - the first part of the path leading there is almost completely impassable after rain, I wrecked more than a couple of pair of trousers figuring this out!

Side view of a white, twin propellor-engined airliner flying from right to left with it's undercarriage lowered, flaps extended from the rear of the wings, and it's nose raised sharply, suggesting it has just taken off. The plane is mostly white, with a light blue belly, and "FlyBe" titles in light and dark blue on the forward fuselage, repeated in a larger form on the rear fuselage and tail. There are small, additional red "LoganAir" titles below the cockpit windows. The registration" G-LGNH" is on the upper rear fuselage in black. Trees fill the bottom of the frame, slowly vanishing into haze in the distance, with flat grey sky filling the rest.

3 different types of airliner in 2 different colour schemes taxiing from right to left at a busy airport. On the left is a purple, high-winged,twin propellor-engined airliner taxiing towards a spot off to the left of the camera. It is mostly purple, with a white tail, and white "FlyBe" titles on the forward fuselage. The main landing gear extends on long legs from the rear of the engine pods in the wings. In the middle is a white, low-winged, twin propellor-engined airliner following the first one along the same taxiway. There are no discernable markings on this one. On the right is another purple, high-winged, twin propellor-engined airliner, but this time with the main undercarriage in sponsons below the middle of the lower fuselage. The tail and rear fuselage are white, with red and yellow diagonal bands separating the white from the purple. There are blue "FlyBe" titles on the tail, repeated in white on the forward fuselage. Green grass fills the foreground, with grey hangars and a tall grey and black tower dominating the background on the left, and a large, grey terminal building on the right.

Side view of a long, thin, white, twin engined jet airliner with the engines mounted on the sides of the rear fuselage. The plane is moving from right to left and slightly away from the camera on a grey runway. The plane is almost entirely white, with silver "Scandinavian" titles on the upper forward fuselage, just above the first few passenger cabin windows, with even whiter "Airlines" titles on the lower forward fuselage, under the windows. The registration "EI-FPJ" is on the lower rear fuselage, under the last of the windows, just in front of the red engine pods. The tail is a deep blue, with white "SAS" titles. The engine pods are red at the front, with small white "Scandinavian" titles. The upturned wingtips are the same blue as the tail, with the same "SAS" logo. Green grass fills the foreground, with the odd stray branch of small trees at the bottom. More grass leads off to trees lining the airfield perimeter in the distance, under grey-blue skies.

The upturned wingtips are also green, this time with just the tips of the birds wings bleeding through from the white underside of the planes wings.
