This Flybe Dash 8 (G-JECK) had just landed and was taxiing towards the terminal. Today was another very hot and humid day with minimal wind and the temperature predicted to exceed 80F. By coincidence J3775 : George Best Belfast City Airport (10) shows the same aircraft, in the same spot, in completely different weather in December 2010.

The photographs submitted by me appear as a matter of neutral record only. I appreciate that many find the airport’s presence unacceptable. I have no connection with the airport or any group opposed to it.

I cannot enter into correspondence or supply photographs for any purpose.
