On This Day 25th March 2015.

OY-NCM, Dornier 328JET-310, SunAir of Scandinavia, in British Airways colours, lining up on Runway 23 Left at Manchester Airport, 25th march 2015, as seen from the SouthSide mounds.
It is notable that this is (or at least, was) the only British Airways route that doesn't involve Heathrow Airport.

Side view of a white, high-winged, twin engined jet airliner taxiing from right to left. The plane has a deep blue belly and engine pods slung under the wings, and blue "British airways" titles on the lower forward fuselage. There is a twisted ribbon, blue on the inside, red on the outside, on the upper forward fuselage, covering part of the forward cabin door. There are wavy red-blue-red stripes, separated by white, on the white tail. The registration "OY-NCM" is on the rear fuselage, in blue. There are small "Operated by Sun-Air" titles under the cockpit windows. Grass lines the runway in the foreground, while a grey terminal building stretches across the frame, varying in height, taller on the left, barely reaching over the top of the plane on the right. Blue-grey sky fills the rest of the frame.

F-TERF/E105/3, Dassault-Dornier Alpha Jet E, Patrouille de France, lining up on the runway with some of it’s team-mates at Fairford International Air Tattoo, 22nd July 1995.
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. The plane has a dark blue belly with a green stripe, and dark blue "Airtours" titles on the lower forward fuselage. There is a purple circle on the tail, outlined in green, with a large capital letter "A" overlaid. A couple of other white jet airliners are parked behind it, facing the pier coming in from the right of the frame. Grey concrete apron fills the foreground, with grass in the background leading up to trees in the distance, slowly vanishing in to haze, under cloudy grey skies.
Slightly over-exposed and marginally soft-focus close-up of the rear fuselage and tail of a twin engined jet airliner flying from right to left at a very low altitude. The plane has a white body with a deep blue belly, with a bright yellow stripe separating the 2 colours. The registration "EI-EFX" is on the upper rear fuselage in black, just aft of a small Irish flag. The blue upturned wing-tips have yellow "RyanAir" titles, while the blue tail has a yellow, winged Irish harp. Grey blue skies fill the rest of the frame.
Side view of a blue, single engined military trainer aircraft moving from right to left on a runway, with several almost identical planes around it. The plane has a red belly with a red stripe running along the lower body, and red, white, and blue stripes running the width of the wings, horizontal stabiliser, and tail. There is a black and white line drawing of the face of a man wearing a World War 2-era flying jacket and helmet overlaid on the tail. Green grass fills the foreground, with trees in the background under grim grey skies.

Habt ihr mitbekommen, dass Russland jungen Frauen (um die 20 Jahre alt) aus dem globalen Süden Flüge spendiert, damit sie an der Hochschule #Alabuga (ca. 1000 km östlich von Moskau) studieren können?

Klingt zu gut um wahr zu sein, klar. Vor einem Monat berichtete die Nachrichtenagentur AP, dass die Frauen unter ständiger #Überwachung genötigt werden, militärische Kamikaze-#Dronen iranischer Bauart zu montieren, die massenhaft gegen die #Ukraine eingesetzt werden.

Vielleicht habe ich davon nicht erfahren, weil das nicht direkt mit D zu tun hat, dachte ich. Aber das stimmt nicht. Wie zuvor bekannt wurde, wird die russische Rüstungsfirma in Alabuga auch aus Deutschland beliefert. Allerdings nicht mit Sklavinnen, sondern mit #Epoxidharz. Das ist kein spezifisch militärisches Material, sondern #dualUse. Aber es gibt noch mehr Verbindungen nach D:

Wie bei Wikipedia zu lesen ist, handelt es sich bei der iranisch-russischen Drohne wahrscheinlich um einen Nachbau der israelischen #Harpy-Drohne, die wiederum auf der Drohne #DAR des deutschen Rüstungsunternehmens #Dornier aus Zeiten des kalten Kriegs basiert.

PS: In D ist Alabuga (so der tartarische Name) anscheinend besser unser seinem russischen Namen #Jelabuga bekannt.
