First Choice Airways 757-200 G-CPEU Manchester Airport

            First Choice Airways Boeing 757-200 G-CPEU taxies out towards the runway for departure following a springtime shower circa 2005.

Delivered new to British Airways as G-CEPU in May 1999 the aircraft would be acquired by Air 2000 in December 2002 with Air 2000 rebranding as First Choice Airways in 2004. The aircraft would spend the next several years bouncing between First Choice and Skyservice on winter leases as G-CPEU and C-FLEU respectively. First Choice was merged with Thomsonfly to become Thomson Airways in May 2009 and later rebranding as TUI Airways UK in October 2017. The aircraft was withdrawn in October 2018 and following cargo conversion in 2019 has gone on to serve SF Airlines of China as B-20AW.

I worked on this aircraft as cabin crew during my tenure at First Choice Airways (2006-08) but according to my records it is one of my least used ones, racking up a paltry 8 flights on her.
