Side view of a red, single-engined biplane taxiing from left to right on a grass airfield. A pair of white lines wrap above and below the engine cowling in the nose, then run towards the rear, getting thinner as they go, overlaid with the white registration "G-HOON" on the lower rear fuselage, just aft of the bubble canopy over the single seat cockpit. The text "Pitts S-1S" is on the top half of the front of the red tail, with a red and white checkerboard pattern on the rear. The checkerboard pattern is repeated on the outer faces of the undersides of the wings. The white propellor at the front is a spinning white blur. Red spats over the main wheels have similar white stripes on the side Green grass fills the rest of the frame.

Side view of a white helicopter parked on grey concrete apron, facing to the left. A yellow stripe runs along the bottom of the body, as well as along the leading edge of the tail, above and below the end of the tail boom. Green and blue stripes run along the body a bit further up, overlaid by black "Police" text just aft of the cockpit doors, with the badge of the Merseyside Police on the door.. The black registration "G-BOOV" is on the top of the tail boom. Green grass fills the foreground, with grey apron filling at lo of the background, with more grass leading up to a wide river, with fields and trees on the far side. Grey sky fills the rest of the frame.

On This Day 13th March 2017.

Side view of a high-winged, twin propellor-engined airliner moving at speed from right to left along a black runway. The plane is white at the front, with dark blue "Aurigny" titles on the side of the forward fuselage, while the rear is yellow, with blue "Channel Islands" text on the lower rear fuselage. The black registration "G-COBO" is on the bottom of the yellow tail, partially obscured by the wing. An image of a Puffin, a bird native to the Channel Islands, is on the tail. The yellow engine pods in front of the wings have a white flag with a red cross in the middle with a smaller yellow cross in the middle of that. Green grass fills the foreground, with more grass in the background on the other side of the runway leading up to a grey and black terminal building in the background. Grey sky fills the rest of the frame.

Frankfurt Friday 13th March 2026.

Side view of a twin engined jet airliner taxiing from right to left and slightly away from the camera. The plane is largely white, with a thick green stripe running along the body, covering the passenger cabin windows, with black "Alitalia" titles on the upper forward fuselage, with a red triangle in the middle of the initial letter "A". A similar letter "A", this time in green, fills the white tail. The engine pods, mounted on the sides of the rear fuselage, has the text "DC-9" in green. The black registration "I-DIZE" is on the lower rear fuselage, just in front of the engines, with the last 2 letters "ZE" repeated at the top of the tail and on the open nose wheel doors. A blue metal mesh blast barrier stretches across the foreground, with red and white striped blocks marking it's position for planes, and a couple of large dumpster bins in front. Alternating strips of grass and taxiways and runways lead off into the distance, with a collection of high-winged, green or grey military transport aircraft on the far side, in front of cream-coloured buildings, under grim grey sky.
