Liverpool 18th May 2025 - Sun Express "Smurfs" B737-800 TC-SPY

 Having failed to show up at Manchester yet I thought I'd take a run over to Liverpool for this evening's Sun Express "Smurfs" B737-800 arrival and departure. Sadly this flight is not timed well for the light but managed a few half decent images. Hopefully it will eventually show at my local!
