Side view of a white, twin propellor-engined airliner flying from left to right at a low altitude. Flaps are extended from behind the wings, and the undercarriage is lowered, suggesting it is about to land. There is a red and black stripe running from the nose to the tail, and black "Manx" titles on the upper forward fuselage. There is a red and black logo resembling a square with the top right corner being a triangle pointing off to the north-east. Grey sky fills the rest of the frame.

Closeup portrait view of the blue uptuirned wingtip of a white, twin engined jet airliner parked facing to the left. The plane has a blue belly, with a yellow stripe running along the body, with a similar livery on the underwing engine pod. The front fuselage is emblazoned with blue "RyanAir" titles, partially obscured by the left wing. The wing has black registration "EI-DLI" on the lower surface, while the blue upturned wingtips have yellow "RyanAir" titles. Cloudy grey skies fill the rest of the frame.

Side view of a small, white helicopter on display on a raised platform, facing to the right. There is a blue stripe running along the body and along the tail boom, with the registration G-DAAM" overlaid on the boom. The rotor mast is white, with the blue outline of a letter "S" in the middle, and "Sloane Helicopters" and a telephone number underneath. In the foreground, a man wearing sunglasses and a sandy brown jacket is leaning on the platform the plane is sitting on, talking to someone in a green jacket and blue cap. In the background, green grass leads up to trees in the distance, with an array of planes parked in the middle distance. Bright but hazy grey-blue skies fill the rest of the frame.
