Photo of the Day 27th May 2025.

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.

G-LGNE, Saab 340B, LoganAir, rotating off Runway 23 Left at Manchester Airport, 24th November 2017, as seen from one of the South Side mounds.
I love this livery, simple and elegant yet effective.
But then, I'm half Scottish, and love a bit of tartan.

Side view of a white, twin propellor-engined airliner just leaving a black runway, moving from right to left, it's nosewheel in the air, it's right main gear just centimetres off the runway, it's left wheel still on the ground.
The plane has a black belly, and red engine pods mounted over the wings, the propellors in front of the engines little more than black smears.
There are red "LoganAir" titles on the upper forward fuselage, with smaller "Scotlands Airline" titles in black on the upper rear.
The registration "G-LGNE" is on the lower rear fuselage, also in black.
The rear fuselage and tail is covered in a red, black, and white tartan pattern.
A wide strip of green grass fills the foreground, with more grass on the other side of the runway leading up to blurred trees in the distance, under grey-blue sky.

The top of a terminal building stretches across most of the foreground, with trees in the background, under a grim grey sky.
