Side view of a white, twin engined jet airliner with the engines mounted on the sides of the rear fuselage, flying from left to right at a very low altitude, maybe a metre above as runway, with the undercarriage lowered, flaps extended from the rear of the wings, and the nose fairly flat, suggesting it is about to land.

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!
