SL-ABE, McDonnell Douglas MD-81, Adria Airways, parked at it's gate at London Heathrow some time between December 1991 and April 1993, as seen from The GlassHouse on The Queens Building.
I believe the "SL-" registry for Slovenia was unofficial, used after the seccesion of Slovenia from Yugoslavia until the " S5-" registry was introduced.

Side view of a white, twin engined jet airliner with the engines mounted on the sides of the rear fuselage, parked facing to the right by a terminal building that stretches all the way across the frame. The plane has a blue stripe running along the body covering the passenger cabin windows, and blue "Adria Airways" titles on the upper forward fuselage. The tail is white, with a blue square containing a white circle, itself containing a couple of blue caret marks. Under the tail , a set of built-in airstairs descends from the rear fuselage, between the engines. The tips of the wing are painted a bright red. Concrete apron fills the foreground, with some metal luggage containers parked right at the bottom. A couple of peoples heads can be seen in the bottom right corner of the frame. In the background, a white jet airliner with an orange and yellow stripe running along the body and over the top of the front fuselage can be seen, also parked facing to the right.

Manchester Monday 10th February 2025.

SE-DIF, McDonnell Douglas MD-87, SAS Scandinavian Airlines, taxiing to the terminal at Manchester Airport, some time in the early 1990s.
The HS.748 parked in front of the hangar in the background dates this to somewhere in the region of 1992-1994 - this particular Budgie was regularly seen in different parts of the airport, in a couple of different liveries and wearing several different registrations for at least 3 years before it finally left for Canada.

Side view of a white, twin engined jet airliner with the engines mounted on the side of the rear fuselage, taxiing from left to right. There are a number of coloured near-vertical bars - blue, yellow, red, and black - on the lower forward fuselage, starting under the passenger cabin windows and looping under the belly, as well as squares on the engine pods - red with a white cross, red with a black cross inside a white cross, and blue with a yellow cross, each representing the countries Sweden, Norway, and Denmark. There are black "Scandinavian" titles on the upper forward fuselage and a black "SAS" logo on the tail. Grey concrete fuselage fills the foreground, with another white, twin engined jet airliner with a blue belly and tail in the immediate background, facing more or less away from the camera. Beyond that, a white, twin propellor-engined airliner with a blue belly and a yellow stripe running along the body is parked facing to the left in front of a large grey hangar, the hangars doors dwarfing this latter plane.

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.

Side view of a white, high-winged, 4 propellor-engined cargo plane being towed from left to right by a low-slung blue truck. The plane has a grey belly, with a blue and red stripe running along the body, and "HeavyLift" titles on the forward fuselage in red and blue. The tail is red, with a large white letter "H" in the middle, with a massive blue drop-shadow coming down and to the right. There is a door with a built-in air-stair open on the lower right side of the fuselage, just aft of the nose-wheel. The white tails of several twin propellor-engined airliners can be seen in the background, surrounded by prefabricated buildings, cars, and trees. Early morning mist lingers over the background.
Side view of a white, 3 engined jet cargo plane flying from left to right at a very low altitude, just metres above a runway. Flaps are extended from behind the planes wings, the undercarriage is extended, and the nose is raised sharply, suggesting it has just taken off. The plane has a grey belly, and blue "Lufthansa Cargo" titles on the upper forward fuselage. The tail is blue, with the centre engine running through it, and a yellow circle containing a stylised flying bird on the upper section. Damp air is causing a layer of cloud to form in the engine inlets, and over the wings. Under the plane, green grass runs up to trees in the distance. Grey sky fills the rest of the frame.
Side view of a white, twin engined cargo plane moving from left to right on a runway, with a light on the nosewheel leg shining brightly, and the red beacon on top of the forward fuselage blinking. There are large purple and red "FedEx" titles on the side of the forward fuselage, with smaller purple "Express" titles below that, a logo repeated on the white engines slung under the wings. The registration "N916FD" is on the upper rear fuselage in black. The rear fuselage and tail is purple, with white and red "FedEx" titles on the tail. Grass fills most of the foreground, with more grass in the background leading up to trees in the distance, under grey skies.
