Side view of a single engined light aircraft parked facing to the right in the middle of a grass airfield. The plane is in a metallic grey paint job, with twisted red and yellow ribbons running along the body, along with rows of silvery oblongs, and up into the tail. The silver registration "ZS-SUB" is on the side of the lower rear fuselage. Metallic grey spats with more twisted yellow and red ribbons cover the wheels on the undercarriage. The cockpit doors on either side are open, hinged upwards and forwards, giving access to the 4 seat cabin. Green grass fills the foreground, with more light aircraft parked, mostly facing to the right, in the background. Trees in the distance mark the airfield perimeter, with pylons holding powerlines marching across the frame beyond, under blue skies.
