Side view of a twin engined jet airliner facing to the left but being pushed back to the right by a very low, white tug attached to the planes nose wheel by a long white pole. The plane is mostly white, with a dark purple belly, and a yellow rear fuselage. There are black "Monarch" titles on the upper forward fuselage, and the black registration "G-MONS" on the yellow lower rear fuselage. There is additional purple text "FlyMonarchDotCom" on the upper rear fuselage. Slightly damp grey concrete apron fills the foreground, with more apron filling a large chunk of the background, and scattered jet airliners , mostly nearby in the top left corner, and further out in the top right. trees at the top of the frame mark the extent of the airfield in that direction.

Side view of a single-engined biplane with a pair of open cockpits, parked facing to the right on grass. The plane's body is a dark brown, with the registration painted on the side in white, behind the wings - only the last 2 letters, "AN" can be made out. The tail is covered in a brown and white checkerboard pattern. The wings are white, with varnished brown struts 2/3rds of the way out from the body supporting the upper wings. Green grass fills the foreground, with a blue biplane in the background on the right, and more grass filling the rest of the background, with trees in the distance under grey sky.

Low, almost head-on view of a high-winged, 4 propellor-engined airliner parked on damp black tarmac, facing to the left. The plane is almost entirely a bright orange, with a air of thin black lines running along the body, the word "British" between them under the cockpit windows. A built-in set of stairs hangs down from the side of the rear fuselage. A smaller, twin propellor-engined airliner in similar colours is visible in the left of the background under this one's wing, with a group of people standing around it, with another, smaller again twin engined white BizProp beyond that. A damp grey taxiway fills the foreground, as well as a good bit of the left of the background, with white and grey sky filling the top of the frame.

Front side view of a rather boxy-looking, high-winged, twin propellor-engined airliner taxiing from right to left. The plane is mostly white, with a thin red pinstripe and a thicker blue stripe running along the bottom of the body, and the black registration "G-DASI" on the side of the rear fuselage. There are a couple of words printed on the side of the upper forward fuselage - "Gill", in blue, with "Airways" in red pretty much underneath it, looking slightly hand drawn. The tail has a couple of thin dark blue stripes on the bottom, with the rest being a flat red, with the white words "Gill Airways" towards the middle. Grey apron fills the foreground, with a couple of large grassed areas and a wide, black runway filling most of the background, with a pair of small, white, twin propellor-engined airliners parked against trees on the far side.

Rear view of a high-winged, twin propellor-engined airliner facing to the left but being pushed back to the right by a red and white tug that is almost hidden by the plane. The plane is a bright green on top, with a blue stripe below that, and a thick dark green stripe running along the body, covering the passenger cabin windows. The lower half is white, with a grey belly. There are dark green "Aer Lingus Commuter" titles on the lower forward fuselage, and the dark green registration "EI-FKB" next to a small Irish flag on the lower rear. A near identical airliner is parked facing to the right in the background, nose-in to a heavily glazed terminal building that stretches across the screen, the biggest difference being that this one has the registration "EI-FKF" at the rear. Grey concrete apron fills the foreground, with trees meeting bright but hazy sky in the distance.

On This Day 1st May 1992.

A twin engined jet airliner parked facing to the right, nose-in to a brown and black terminal building he plane is light grey on the upper half, the bottom half being a dark blue, with a thin dark grey and red stripe separating the 2 colours. There are large, dark blue "Canadian" titles on the upper forward, the last letter "a" replaced with a red chevron pointing to the right so it can easily be replaced with an "e" in French-speaking parts of Canada. There is a cargo door hinged open in the lower forward fuselage, with a red cargo loader in the lifted position beside it. A smaller cargo door is hinged upwards in the lower rear, next to a white set of mobile airstairs parked by the open rear cabin door. The black registration "C-FCAB" is on the upper rear fuselage, just ahead of this door, itself just aft of a small Canadian flag. The foreground is filled with damp concrete apron, with several cargo trolleys lined up on the right. in the background, a couple of jet airliners are parked nose-in against another, grey, terminal. The whole scene is shrouded in mist.

Side view of a twin engined BizJet flying from left to right at a low altitude, with undercarriage and flaps retracted, and the nose raised sharply, suggesting it has just taken off. The plane is white, with a thin red stripe running along the body, under the oval passenger cabin windows, as well as along the bottom of the tails, and the sides of the up-turned wingtips. The red registration "VR-CYM" is on the sides of the white engine pods mounted on the sides of the rear fuselage. White clouds fill the background, with patches of blue threatening to peek through in the middle.
