Side view of a twin engined jet airliner taxiing from right to left onto a grey runway. The plane is largely white, with a red rear fuselage and tail. There are grey "Helvetic" titles on the side of the forward fuselage, with smaller grey text "Airways" below. The black registration "HB-JVO" is on the upper rear fuselage, just forward of the rear cabin door. There is a large white cross on the red tail, as well as on the red up-turned wingtips. Green grass lines the runway in the foreground, with more grass in the background leading up to trees in the distance, under grey-blue sky.Side view of a large, single-engined biplane parked on grass, facing to the left. The plane is largely white, with a large grey patch over the top of the engine, the top of the nose, and around the sides of the open cockpit. There is a blue, white, and red roundel outlined in yellow on the side of the fuselage, under the rear cockpit, where 2 crew members are adjusting their leather flying helmets prior to starting their flight. The large black code "L2" is on the side of the rear fuselage, followed by the smaller text "Royal Navy" over the serial "LS326"The white tail has a large red, white, and blue fin flash, right above the horizontal stabiliser. Green grass fills the foreground, and much of the background, with trees and bushes in the background marking the airfields perimeter, under grey layers of cloud.Side view of a twin engined military jet trainer aircraft parked facing to the right on a black tarmac taxiway. The plane is mostly in a bare metal finish, with orange panels wrapped around the nose except right at the top, a segmented red stripe on both the inner and outer faces of the V-tail, and a red, white, and blue roundel on the sides of the rear of the engine cowling, behind the wing and seemingly part of the fuselage. The rather faded, very small serial "529" is on the side of the tail-cone under the V-tail, repeated in black on the day-glo orange nose, with the larger partial code "-AX" visible under the tandem cockpits, which both have part of the canopy tilted upwards for crew to enter or exit. The rest of the code is obscured by the large wingtip fuel tanks, which have a glass portion at the front for a light. The plane's general finish isn't quite as clean as it could be, and at first glance appears rather scruffy, with bits of paint seemingly faded or otherwise missing, but, oddly, on further inspection, everything seems to be there Black tarmac taxiway fills the foreground, with the tails of a pair of much larger jet fighters visible on the right, and a grey office building with occasional red brick walls stretching across the frame from the left. Crowds of people and vendor tents occupy the space between the plane and the building. Flat grey sky completes the image.Side view of a 3 engined jet airliner with the engines mounted on the rear fuselage, taxiing from left to right along a grey taxiway. The plane is mostly white, with a grey belly, and a thick and thin blue stripe running along the body under the passenger widows. There are light blue titles in a Cyrillic script running the length of the upper body, transliteration into English as "Aviation Ukraine" aft of a blue and yellow Ukranian flag. The centre engine intake, on top of the rear fuselage in front of the tail is white, with the black registration "UR-42544". The tail itself is also white, with a yellow circle containing the stylised outline of a blue flying bird in the middle. Green grass fills the foreground, with a black roadway cutting almost vertically through the middle. In the background, a couple of low, grey and red buildings come from the right of the frame, joining a square, squat, brown brick tower with a heavily glazed top floor on the left. A boxy, green metal structure in the distance stretches across the frame, under grey sky.Rear-side view of a high-winged, 4 propellor engined military transport aircraft parked facing to the left and away from the camera. The plane is covered in a glossy, very dark grey livery, almost black, with a lighter grey rounded with a light grey maple leaf in the dark grey middle on the side of the rear fuselage, and a 2-tone grey version of the Canadian flag on the tail. A dark blue and grey tug is parked by the planes nose. A chain link fence stretches across the foreground, while also large, grey terminal building stretches across the background, with a very large jet airliner with a golden stripe running along the body and a stylised gold flying bird on the very dark purple tail parked in front of it. Grey-blue sky in the top right corner completes the scene.Side view of a high-winged, twin propellor-engined airliner flying from left to right at a low altitude, with undercarriage extended from the rear of the engine pods, flaps deployed from the rear of the wings, and the nose dropped slightly, suggesting it is about to land. The plane is mostly white, with a silvery-grey belly, and black "Jersey European" titles running along the lower body, and a large triangle either a scalloped base, made up of black, yellow, orange, and red stripes. A similar design appears on the white tail. The black registration "G-JEAI" is on a white fillet at the front of the tail. Cloudy white sky with bright patches shining through fills the background.Side view of a squat and boxy, high-winged, twin propellor-engined airliner flying from left to right at a very low altitude, with undercarriage extended from sponsors on the sides of the lower rear fuselage, and flaps extended from the rear of the wing, suggesting it is about to land. The plane is mostly white, with dark blue rear fuselage and tail, with a pair of thin white diagonal stripes covering both. The white registration "G-UBAC" is on the upper rear fuselage, and large red "BAC" and smaller blue "Express" on the lower forward fuselage. There is a support strut extending from the side of the sponsons on the lower mid-fuselage to the middle of the wing, slightly outboard of the engines. Thin white cloud with patches of blue fill the rest of the frame.Side view of a twin engined jet airliner with the engines mounted on the sides of the rear fuselage, flying from left to right at a low altitude, with undercarriage lowered and flaps extended from the rear of the wings, suggesting it s about to land. The plane is mostly white, with the silver outline of a leaping lion adorning the forward fuselage, and mauve "British World" titles on the upper mid-fuselage. The tail is mauve, with another, smaller leaping silver lion in the middle. Flat grey sky fills the rest of the frame.Side view of a twin Engined jet airliner with the engines mounted on the sides of the rear fuselage, taxiing from left to right along a grey concrete taxiway. The plane is almost entirely white, with a series of red, black, yellow, and blue diagonal stripes running from under the front passenger cabin windows, under the body and up the other side. There are black "Scandinavian" titles on the upper forward fuselage, the black registration "LN-RMJ" on the lower rear fuselage. There is a black "SAS" logo on the white tail, with a gold drop shadow. There are 3 squares on the side of the engine pods - blue with a yellow cross, red with a white and black cross, and red with a white cross, all with a gold crown. Grey concrete apron fills the foreground, with a large patch of grass on the right of the frame. More grass in the background, behind the grey and blue tail of another plane behind this one, lines the sides of a black runway that runs through the middle of the frame, with a black hanger with light aircraft parked outside on the far side of the runway. Grey sky fills the rest of the frame.

High side view of a high-winged, 4 propellor engined airliner parked facing to the left. The plane is grey on top, with a dark blue belly, and a red pinstripe running along the body at the top of the blue. There are black "British Airways" titles on the upper forward fuselage, just aft of the cockpit, and the grey text "Aberdeenshire" below the cockpit. The tail is grey at the bottom, with a dark blue and red triangle in the middle, and the top is dark blue with a grey heraldic crest. A couple of people can be seen standing by the planes rear door, their heads obscured by one of the grey engine pods below the wing, the open door obscured by the other engine and the long landing gear leg, which extends from the rear of the inner engine pod. Wet grey concrete apron fills the foreground, with more dry concrete in the background, with a black taxiway lined by green grass at the top of the frame.
