AAAARRRRGGGGHHHH!!!!! I’ve been having problems with my main #Fediverse server for a few weeks now – Ahh, who am I trying to kid, for at least a year now! It turns out that trying to keep something like that alive requires more work than I sometimes want to do, soRead More

Rear-side view of a high-winged, single-engined light aircraft parked in a vaulted-roofed metal hangar. The plane is largely white, with red and blue stripes running along the body, overlaid with the black registration "G-CTAB" on the side of the rear fuselage. A red and white sun-burst pattern covers the top of both the wings and the horizontal stabiliser. The tail is white, with 3 blue and 3 red 5-pointed stars forming a rough triangle, the word "Citabria" in an ornate script in the middle, and the small text "North West Aerobatics right at the top. Grey brushed concrete floor fills the foreground and a lot of the background, with blue internal beams supporting metal walls and ceiling. A couple of people, one wearing a yellow hi-viz vest, are facing the far wall at the end. Blooms of green and bloom light are visible in the middle and edges of the frame, caused by shooting through slightly murky glass.

Head-on view of a twin engined jet airliner taxiing along a black taxiway, facing directly towards the camera, but turning to it's right, following a yellow line marked on the taxiway. The plane is mostly white, with a dark blue belly, while the red engine pods are mounted towards the top of the rear fuselage, under the large T-Tail. A light mounted on the side of the nose-wheel leg shines brightly down the camera lens. Black taxiway fills the foreground, with green grass in the background leading up to a black and grey runway, with more grass on the far side leading up to trees in the distance, under grim grey sky.

Side view of a 4 engined military jet submarine-hunter aircraft, parked facing to the right on concrete hard-standings in the middle of a field of gravel, on outdoor display in a small museum. The plane is entirely grey, with a large grey probe extending forward from above the cockpit windows, reaching out of the right side of the frame. The engines are buried in pairs in the wing root, with red covers inside the intakes. A blue pod hangs from a pylon under the right wing. Grey gravel fills the foreground, with metal barriers making a walkway up to a grey set of mobile airstairs parked against the planes main door behind the cockpit. Lush grey sky fills the top of the frame.

Side view of a white, high-winged, twin propellor-engined airliner taxiing from right to left. The plane is almost entirely white, with the registration "EI-FMK" next to an Irish flag on the upper rear fuselage. There are small "Stobart" titles on the forward door. The propellors on the engines are smeared into spinning black and yellow blurs. A large grey and blue hangar dominates the background on the left, under grey-blue sky.

Side view of a helicopter parked on black tarmac facing to the right. The aircraft is mostly bright yellow, with the black registration "G-NWAE" on the tail boom, which ends with a blue tail with a shrouded tail fan.

There are blue bands under the fuselage, near to the blue landing skids. Black tarmac apron marked with yellow lines fills the foreground, with trees in the background, with pale blue sky visible in gaps in the treeline.

Side view of a very large, 4 engined jet airliner flying from left to right at a very low altitude, with undercarriage lowered and flaps extended from the front and rear of the wings, suggesting it is about to land. The plane is almost entirely white, with gold titles in an Arabic script on the side of the upper forward fuselage, obscured by the large wing, with gold Arabic calligraphy on the up-turned wingtips and the sides of the engine pods under the wings. The black registration "A6-EDQ" is on the side of the lower rear fuselage, with the last 2 letters repeated on the open nose-wheel doors. A modified, waving version of the flag of the United Arab Emirates fills the white tail, with a diagonal green, white, and black stripe, with a red diagonal band wrapping around the leading edge of the tail and the side of the rear fuselage. Flat grey sky fills the rest of the frame.

Side view of a single-engined BizProp taxiing from right to left on a black taxiway. The plane is white on top and towards the front, and black on the bottom and to the rear, separated by a brown stripe that swoops along the fuselage. The brown registration "N5347V" outlined in white and with a gold drop shadow is on the side of the lower rear fuselage. A pair of gold stripes run along the forward fuselage, one above the brown stripe, the other below, with a thin gold band wrapped around the tail-cone and tail. The pilot can be seen through the cockpit window, with black text "Piper" on the side of the upper fuselage just behind him. Green grass lines both sides of the runway at the bottom of the frame, with more grass separating taxiways and a runway in the background, and more grass leading off to trees and bushes in the distance, slowly vanishing into mist.

Side view of a delta-winged, 4 engined military bomber aircraft parked facing to the right. There is a blue, white, and red roundel on the nose, under the bump that is the cockpit, with another roundel on top of the right wing. The black serial "XM603" is on the power part of the tail, under a blue, white, and red fin flash, with red "Avro Vulcan" titles towards the top of the tail. There are people clustered under the belly of the plane, with another group of people under the tail, looking up at the engine exhausts, coming out of the rear of the wings, next to the rear fuselage. Green grass fills the foreground, with fluffy grey clouds filling the rest of the frame.
