On the 15 & 16-Dec-1999, Manchester Airport dealt with quite a number of 'heavies' going trans-Atlantic from Paris-de Gaulle. They stopped here for fuel due to a fuel shortage (or maybe a fuellers strike!) at Paris-de Gaulle.
The photo was taken from the Emirates Sales & Reservations Office which at the time was located in the 'International Office Centre' at the end of Ringway Road. The aircraft was on short finals for runway 24R.
Fleet No: "908".
First flown with the Airbus test registration F-WWJS, this aircraft was delivered to ILFC and leased to Air Canada as C-GDVV in Feb-99.
It was returned to ILFC after only 3 years, in Feb-02 and leased to Air Jamaica as 6Y-JMP in Mar-02. It continued in service for five years and was due to be returned to ILFC in Nov-07.
However, Air Jamaica was having some financial problems and the aircraft was impounded by SOGERMA at Bordeaux, France due to a 'contractual dispute' after a 'C' check and end-of-lease maintenance.
The aircraft was eventually returned to ILFC five months later, in Apr-08. It was ferried to Chateauroux, France and repainted into full Turkish Airlines livery. It was eventually leased to Turkish Airlines in Sep-08 as TC-JIK.
It returned to the lessor in Sep-12 and was immediately leased to Air Blue (Pakistan) as AP-EDF. The aircraft was returned to the lessor in Feb-14 and stored at Goodyear, AZ, USA. It was re-registered N281AT in Mar-14 and remained stored until Jan-15 when it was ferried to Bordeaux, (France) for maintenance.
It was re-registered M-ABIG in Feb-15 and returned to storage until Sep-15 when it was sold to 'Asian Express Airlines' (a 'front' company) and ferried to Tehran, Iran. It was sold to Meraj Airlines as EP-AJA two days later.
By the end of Sep-15 it was repainted in 'Islamic Republic of Iran' livery and operated for the Iranian Government by Meraj Airlines. The aircraft was re-registered EP-DAA in Nov-17 and then re-registered EP-IGA in Jun-18. Current, updated 22-Dec-21.

Originally built as an A300B4-2C, this aircraft was first flown with the Airbus test registration F-WZEI. It was delivered to Lufthansa as D-AIBD in Mar-79. The aircraft was leased to Condor Flugdienst in Mar-83 and returned to Lufthansa in Oct-03.
It was sold to Orion Airways (UK) as G-BMZK in Apr-87. Orion Airways was merged into Britannia Airways in Jan-89 and, as Britannia had an all Boeing fleet, the aircraft was sold to Iberia with the temporary registration EC-273 in Apr-89 and modified to A300B4-203 standard the following month. It was re-registered EC-EON in Aug-89.
The aircraft was retired and stored at Palma, Majorca, Spain in late 2001. It was sold to SOGERMA in Apr-02 and remained stored until it was sold to Iran Air in early 2006 for spares. The aircraft was broken up at Tehran, Iran, in late 2006.
Farnborough Air Show, September 1986.
Originally F-WUAD and later F-ODCX, F-BUAD was the 3rd Prototype A300 first flown in Jun-73. The aircraft was converted to A300B2-103 standard before being leased to General Electric in Jan-89 as an engine testbed. Sold to SOGERMA in May-96 it was leased to Novespace and operated for 11 years giving 'weightless' training to astronauts and others.
It was given a new coat of paint and appeared in the static display at the Paris Air Show in Jun-07. After that it was retired and stored at Bordeaux, France in mid 2007. It was noted still stored at BOD in Dec-12.
The aircraft made its final flight when it was ferried to Cologne, Germany in Nov-14 where it was preserved and put on display. The registration was cancelled in Feb-15. Sadly, fifty three years after it first flew it was broken up at Cologne in Jun/Jul-26. Updated 20-Jul-26.

I decided that with Shutterfly having difficulties accepting my edits of my now-award winning (3rd place in a Bellingham-Mt. Baker tourism photo contest) to retouch my photo of "A Proud American" on the charge. This version has the color temp turned down and a more detailed woods.
Now about the plane, This particular Skyraider barely missed out on the Korean War but, "This single-seat, prop-driven attack aircraft found its niche carrying 14,500lbs on take-off and delivering its payload with precision, often enduring significant battle damage in the process. Later during the Vietnam conflict, when most other propellered fighters and attack aircraft had been traded in on the latest and greatest jets, the venerable ‘Spad’ with it’s long loiter time, ‘low and slow’ delivery system, and ability to get home despite being in less than one piece carved out yet another niche for itself. Indeed, the Skyraider proved itself to be so good that the USAF added some to their helicopter Search and Rescue missions. It served as the ‘Sandy’ helicopter escort, providing close air support, forward air control, and anything else that required the special brand of support that the Skyraider provided. By the end of 1972, all Skyraiders in the US inventory had been taken out of service. Many went to the South Vietnamese Air Force and later to the French l’Armee de l’Air."
In the French Air Force - l’Armee de l’Air - this particular warbird was "based at Chateaudun but served in Algeria in 1962, Djibouti in 1968, Madagascar in 1971, and Chad in 1976. It was sent to storage with Sogerma in September 1979 where it remained until 1983. The Musee de l’Air at Le Buurget acquired the aircraft in 1984, and sold it to a private owner in Belgium in 1985. This aircraft was purchased by Heritage Flight Museum in February of 2004". Certainly an amazing tour of duty.

Two-tone gray, *SS registration.
Production deliveries started in 1999, from IAI, ended in 2011, from Gulfstream. 250 built. Succeeded by Gulfstream G-280, with a fin and rudder more like the larger Gulfstream jets.
Note Kruger flaps on the outer part of the more-swept inner wing. Twin strakes starting below the engine pylons. Rounded "screwdriver" fuselage end, retractable air-scoop behind rudder hinge line. 8 starboard windows, 3-pillar windscreen. Rectangular fairings for thrust-reversers. And North American / Rockwell-esque fin, rudder & horizontal stabilizer.
Port side has 7 windows and a door with integral air-stairs.
North American Rockwell's biz jet line became the Israeli Westwind products when NA/Rockwell got out of that business. Yep, that's where the tail surfaces trace to. IAI invented a swept wing for the Westwind, renamed it, did a risk-sharing deal where Yakovlev designed and originally built the new forward fuselage, for the IAI Galaxy.
The Galaxy became the G-200 when Gulfstream bought the product line from Israeli Aircraft Industries. EADS Sogerma (Toulouse, France) picked up the forward fuselage subcontracting, Surprisingly, my second guess, a smallish Gulfstream, appears to be correct!
Have a look at other frames from that morning to figure out the registration. But a biz jet in any case..
First guess was a Hawker 125 , but that has far more sweep to the fin and rudder. And the horizontal surfaces are at about 2/3 fin height, rather than 1/3.
In 1993 Israeli Aircraft Industries, Galaxy Aerospace division launched the Galaxy bizjet in a partnership with the Yakovlev OKB. When the Russian design bureau was failing to meet deadlines, IAI ended the joint venture and transferred Yakovlev's share of the work to the EADS Sogerma. The Galaxy basically took the Astra SPX's wing mated to a new fuselage and evolved empennage. To offset the higher wing loading using the Astra SPX's wing, inboard Krueger flaps were added to help restore some field performance. It was renamed G200 in 2001 when Gulfstream acquired Galaxy Aerospace from IAI. Production ended in 2011 and has been replaced by the G280. This aircraft belongs to the BNSF railroad.

SA Novespace is a subsidiary of the CNES, the Centre national d'études spatiales i.e the French government space agency, that operates reduced gravity missions for pubblic passengers. The aircraft gives its occupants the sensation of weightlessness by following a parabolic flight path relative to the center of the Earth. While following this path, the aircraft and its payload are in free fall at certain points of its flight path. The aircraft is used in this way to demonstrate to astronauts what it is like to orbit the Earth. During this time the aircraft does not exert any ground reaction force on its contents, causing the sensation of weightlessness.
The company now operates a single Airbus A.310, but previously it was using a single Airbus A.300B from 2005 to 2012.
F-BUAD (c/n 003 series B2-103) was the third built Airbus A.300B, in 1975. Used for flying testing, it remained with Airbus until leased by General Electric in January 1989 and was used as test-bed until May 1996 when it was sold to Sogerma (later SA Novespace) for zero-gravity flights.

Gulfstream G200
The Gulfstream G200, formerly known as the IAI Galaxy is a twin-engine business jet. It was designed originally by Israel Aircraft Industries and is produced for Gulfstream Aerospace.
The G200 was originally named "Astra Galaxy". Israel Aircraft Industries' subsidiary Galaxy Aerospace Inc began designing the Galaxy in the late 1980s in a risk-sharing partnership with the Soviet aircraft design bureau Yakovlev OKB. In September 1993, the program was officially launched. Yakovlev handled design and manufacturing of the forward fuselage and empennage. But it was failing to keep the production schedule and the partnership was ended in 1995. This lead to EADS Sogerma sharing manufacturing with the responsibility for the fuselage and tail of the Galaxy. IAI handled final assembly and other prime contractor duties
