A rear end view of Kuwait Air Force Boeing C-17 Globemaster 3 KAF 343 as it heads to the stand at Manchester. Due to space being at a premium – not helped by the fact that 5 stored TUI Boeing B737MAX 8s are parked up on a taxiway - this spent the night in the engine test bay before continuing on his way to the USA the next day.
