Low side view of a high-winged, twin propellor-engined airliner flying from left to right at a low altitude, with undercarriage lowered and flaps extended from the rear of the wings, suggesting it is about to land. The plane is almost entirely purple, with an orange and purple band around the rear fuselage, and a white tail-cone and tail. There are white., billboard-style "FlyBe" titles above 6 white dots on the side of the forward fuselage, with similar diagonal titles in light and dark blue on the tail, over 2 orange, 2 red, and 2 purple dots. The white titles are also inverted on the underside of the fuselage. The engine pods mounted out on the wings are also purple, with the main undercarriage hanging down on long, spindly legs from the rear. The black registration "G-JECZ" is on the side of the tail-cone right at the rear. Flat grey clouds fill the rest of the frame.

G-BGTR, Piper PA-28-140, Liverpool Flying School, outside one of the old hangars at the original site of Liverpool Speke, some time in the early 1990s.
The original Speke Airport is now mostly buried under an industrial park, and the original terminal is now a hotel.
This (and the old terminal) is the only part of the original Speke Airport I've ever experienced, and even then only because the bus to Liverpool stopped outside, it was literally miles from the terminal - seriously open your fave mapping app, look up "Liverpool Airport", then look up "Crowne Plaza" - that is the original terminal building, now a hotel.
Now, off to the east, look for "Banks Road", then for "Skyhawk Avenue" - that is pretty much where this hangar was.
It's not surprising that they moved the General Aviation area to the side of the new runway, given that many training flights took longer to taxi out than they actually flew for!

Side view of a single-engined light aircraft parked facing to the right.
The plane is white on top with a grey lower half, separated by a blue stripe running along the body, as well as covering most of the engine cowling, especially directly in front of the cockpit.

The tail is the same blue, with a large, red, standing bird with it's wings stretched out and up, outlined in white.
A man wearing black pants and a dark blue jacket is standing in front of the planes nose, pulling on an orange towbar attached to the planes nose.
A faded black corrugated metal hangar is on the left of the background, with the faded yellow text "Hool 427-74" at the top of the open door.
A white lean-to on the side of the building on the right of the background has a dark green car parked behind it, with bright but hazy white sky filling what is left of the frame.

The tail is white, with a yellow leading edge, with a black and white checkerboard pattern halfway up the tail.
The cockpit door is open, and a man is standing on the landing skid, leaning in as if he is fixing something.
Green grass fills the foreground, lining the side of the apron, with a white fuel tanker in the background on the right, with a white twin propellor-engined plane on the left.
Grey sky fills the rest of the frame.
