Remarks: Captured at 08:48 lining up on rwy 24L in glorious sunshine is one of the best Colour of the World designs and that is "Kogutcki Lowickie" from Poland.
Remarks: BA Connect’s seven Dash-8s are in the process of being returned to the lessor as one of the initial stages of disposal of the company’s entire fleet following the takeover by Flybe. Nevertheless, several were still in evidence on the afternoon I visited Manchester; this one was photographed from the aviation viewing park, an 80th second exposure blurring the propeller discs (a fluid-head tripod steadied the camera).
