Side view of a white, twin engined jet airliner with blue stripes running along the belly, taxiing from right to left. The white engine pods also have blue stripes running along the bottom. The blue tail has white stripes at the bottom, and an image of a seated women wearing a feathered helmet and holding a trident and a shield emblazoned with the union flag, all done in white and blue. Britannia titles are displayed on the upper forward fuselage in blue. Grey concrete apron fills the foreground, with the rear fuselage and tail of another white, twin engined jet airliner with blue stripes running along the body behind this plane on the right. Green grass in the background leads up to a black hangar the stretches across the frame from the left, with light aircraft and helicopters parked in front and to the side.

Side view of a white, twin engined jet airliner taxiing from left to right. The plane has an orange and blue stripe running along the body, an orange circle with waves in 3 shades of blue at the bottom on the tail. There are dark blue "Holiday Airlines" titles on the upper forward fuselage, the "o" in holiday being replaced by the logo from the tail. A blue hangar stretches across the background from the left, with light aircraft parked in front and on the left side, with trees behind, and a large sports stadium with tall floodlighting towers slowly vanishing into haze in the distance, under grim grey skies.
