Side view of a white, twin engined jet airliner taxiing from right to left.
The plane has a red and yellow stripe running from under the lower forward fuselage, swooping over the wings, and up into the tail, which is almost entirely red, with a swirling yellow design.
There are red "Hainan Airlines" on the upper forward fuselage, in a Chinese script in front of the mid-cabin door, and in English aft of that door.
There are blue "China Britain Film Festival" titles on the lower forward fuselage, in a Chinese script under the cabin windows, and in English below that.
The registration is on the upper rear fuselage, in black.
A strip of lush green grass at the bottom of the screen marks the edge of the taxiway, with more grass delineating taxiways in the distance, visible under the planes body.
Pale blue skies and purple clouds fill the rest of the frame in the background.

Manchester Monday 4 3rd March 2025.

EI-SHN, Airbus A330-301, Aer Lingus, approaching it's stand on Gate 23 or 25 at Manchester Airport, some time after May 1994, as seen from the roof of the T1 car park.

Side view of a green, twin engined jet airliner taxiing from left to right.
The plane has a grey belly with a white stripe under the passenger cabin windows, overlaid with dark green "Aer Lingus" titles next to a green shamrock on the forward fuselage.
The green tail has a large, white shamrock in the middle.
Taxiways wend their way through a large grassed area in the background, with a smaller white jet airliner working it's way to the terminal at the top of the frame.

Photo of the Day 26th February 2025.

F-GMDB, Airbus A330-301, Air Inter, bringing in a group of French football fans for a match against Spain in Leeds during the Euro'96 Championships, 15th June 1996.
Quite why they didn't fly in to Leeds-Bradford Airport I don't know, seeing as the ground is at least an hour closer by road than it is from here, but that was what they did, and I was glad to see this flight!
