Side view of a small, sleek, single engined light aircraft flying from right to left t a very low altitude, just a few metres above a grass runway. The plane is a bright scarlet red, with a large glazed canopy over the 2-seat cockpit, with only the rear seat filled. Long, spindly undercarriage legs extend down from the front of the wings, with large red spats over the main wheels. The spinner on the propellor is a gloss black, , as is the registration "G-COXI" on the sides of the rear fuselage. Greengrass fills the foreground at the bottom of the frame, with trees filling the background, with rolling hills and pale blue sky in the distance.

Side view of a very large, 4 engined jet airliner facing to the left but being pushed back to the right by a low-slung white truck attached to the nose-wheel. The plane is almost entirely white, with only the black registration "TF-AMC" on the rear fuselage breaking up the lack of colour. Grey concrete apron fills the foreground, with a green patch of grass in the lower right corner, and a grey lighting pole reaching up and out of the top of the frame. In the background, another white 4 engined jet airliner with a red and yellow tail and red web address "TravelCityDirect.Com" on the forward fuselage sits in bright sunlight, contrasting with this one which is in it's own shadow. Trees stretch across the background and into the distance, with buildings right at the back meeting grey-blue sky.

Tails Tuesday 20 January 2026.

Vertically oriented close-up of the twin red V-Tails on the end of the fuselage of a red aircraft. The white registration "G-FUGA", is under the tail above a circular rubber bumper. In the foreground, red and white striped tape stretches across the frame, separating the camera from the plane, above grey tarmac. The cockpits of a pair of white and dark blue planes can be seen in the background, with a large grey hangar beyond that, under bright but hazy sky.

Close-up of the triple tail of a piston-engined airliner in a retro colour scheme on display in an outdoor museum. The plane is mostly white with a blue stripe running along the body. The plane's triple tails are white, with blue bands across the middle, containing a yellow oval with a stylised flying blue bird in the centre. Pale blue sky fills the rest of the frame.
