Still flying!
See https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/3902717 for more information. Since that view was taken, the aeroplane has had a repaint, removing the registration lettering, and has also lost its propeller blades.

Looking east from the 'Tin Bridge'
The line is the former Midland Railway route between Nottingham and Lincoln. At one time there was a second pair of lines where the lower vegetation to the right has now grown. This was the Great Northern Railway route between Nottingham and Grantham. Historically there was no connection between the two at this point but with the reduction of coal traffic the lines were rationalised. The GNR tracks were removed in the 1970s and the junction installed for trains towards Grantham.

Looking east from the 'Tin Bridge' ? 2020
The same viewpoint as https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/3902719 .
On that picture I commented about the position of the former GNR lines being identified by lower tree growth. These trees have now grown to a height which means that difference is no longer identifiable.
The view can only be obtained by holding the camera above the 2 metre high solid parapet of the footbridge.

Tin Bridge, Colwick
The Tin Bridge, as it is colloquially known, crosses the former Midland Railway line east from Nottingham, providing a pedestrian link between Colwick and Bakersfield. The steps at either end of the bridge have been fitted with very narrow chutes to enable bicycles to be wheeled rather than carried.
