    Bonus Photo of the Day 10th December 2024.
XZ694, Westland WG-13 Lynx HAS3, Royal Navy, parked in front of the crowd line at the Woodford Air Show, some time in the 1990s.
Side view of a white, 3 engined jet airliner taxiing from left to right at a busy airport. The plane has a bare-metal belly and a red stripe running along the body, along with black "MartinAir" titles on the upper forward fuselage, and the registration "PH-MCR" on the upper rear. There is a red logo on the tail that looks somewhere between a letter "M" and a raised fist with the thumb pointed down, as well as black "MartinAir" titles on the centre engine cowling. The white rear fuselage and blue and green tail of a smaller jet airliner is in the bottom right corner of the frame in the foreground, while a large green frame stretches across the background from the right. In the top left, a white and yellow jet airliner can be seen in the distance waiting to turn onto the runway, while a twin propellor-engined plane can be seen on final approach. Hazy grey sky with a tinge of orange fills the rest of the frame.
Closeup of the rear fuselage and tail of a jet airliner taxiing from right to left. The fuselage is in a bare metal finish, with a blue, white, and red stripe running along the body, above the blue registration "N784AN". The tail is grey, with red and blue letters "AA" with a blue stooping eagle between them. In the background, a strip of green grass runs below the tail, bounded by taxiways at top and bottom, while more grass over the top of the body is split by the runway, leading up to an expanse of grey concrete apron in the distance. A tall, grey concrete wall separates the airport from houses, trees, and tower blocks in the distance, under grey skies.
Side view of a grey helicopter parked on grass. There is the white number "307" on the slightly open sliding door on the side of the fuselage, "Royal Navy" titles on the front of the tail boom, and the serial "XZ694" on the rear. A man in a green flight suit is standing in front of the helicopters nose, staring out of frame on the right, while another man in a green flight suit is climbing on the side of the fuselage, looking at the engine mounted on the top. Green grass fills the foreground, the background being dominated by grey skies.
