Side view of a high-winged, 34 propellor-engined military transport aircraft parked facing to the right on a black runway, with it's cargo ramp in the rear fuselage deployed, with a vehicle moving along the runway that has obviously just come out of the back of the plane. The plane is covered in a grey and green-brown camouflage scheme, with small "Royal Air Force" titles on the side of the forward fuselage, the large black number "218" under the cockpit windows on the nose. There is a large blue and red roundel on the side of the rear fuselage, followed by the small serial "XV218". The black number "218" is repeated on the tail, over a blue and red fin flash. Green grass fills the foreground, with more grass on the far side of the runway. More grass in the background leads up to a pair of white and blue jet fighters on the left, and blue hangars on left and right, with trees beyond, under flat white sky.

On This Day 23rd May 2017.

Side view of a twin engined jet airliner moving from right to left at an accelerating pace. The plane is mostly white, with a purple belly and engine pods under the wings, and bright yellow rear fuselage and tail. There is a stylised purple letter "M" on the tail, designed to resemble a crown, which is repeated in a larger form on the tail. Over the wings, there are large purple "Monarch" titles, and the black registration "G-ZBAH" on the yellow upper rear fuselage, under the tail. Green grass fills the foreground, with more on the far side of the runway, with trees in the distance under pale blue sky with plenty of white and grey fluff.

On This Day 23rd May 2019.

A side view of a white, single engined light aircraft flying from right to left at a very low altitude, with flaps extended from the rear of the wings and the nose tilted down slightly, suggesting it is about to land. The plane is mostly white, with a red and grey stripe running along the body, overlaid with black registration "G-CIRZ" on the side of the rear fuselage. There is black text "Mainair Flying School" above a telephone number on the tail, as well as a red circle overlaid with a black flying bird. A couple of men can be seen in the cockpit, under the high-mounted wings. Trees in the background are blurred into a smear, under pale blue sky.

View from below of a twin engined jet airliner flying from the bottom to the top of the frame, at a very low altitude, with flaps extended from the rear of the wings, and the undercarriage in the process of being tucked away, suggesting it has just taken off. The plane is mostly white, with a pale blue belly, dark blue "Thomas Cook [dot] com" titles on the side of the forward fuselage, and dark blue engines hanging below the wings. The tail is the same dark blue, with a large, yellow love heart in the middle, a design repeated on both the inside and outside faces of the up-turned wingtips. Cloudy grey sky with the occasional bright patch fil the background.

Side view of a high-winged, twin propellor-engined airliner flying from left to right at a low altitude, with undercarriage lowered and flaps extended from the rear of the wings, suggesting it is about to land. The plane is white, with large black "CityFlyer" titles on the lower forward fuselage, and the black registration "G-BUPS" on the lower rear, just slightly forward of the rear door. There are white "CityFlyer Express" titles on the mauve tail. Grey cloudy sky fills the rest of the frame.
