Photo of the day 8th March 2025.
Despite how it looks, this is not some weird hybrid plane, this isn't some kind of Frankenstein's Monster cooked up for a tv show, this is a fire training rig, meant to simulate different types of planes for training for fire services.
Oddly, both the types this most closely resembles (Boeing 747 and Douglas DC-10/McDonnell Douglas MD-11) are no longer in passenger service, and haven't been seen here in years.
Photo taken 12th May 2024, at Manchester Airport, from the top of the T3 car park.
