Side view of a small, rather ancient-looking helicopter flying from right to left above a grass airfield. The helicopter is covered in an olive green and brown camouflage scheme, with red "Beware rotor blades" text below the upturned-bucket cockpit. There is black "Army" titles and the serial "XL814" on the tail boom, as well as a red block with white text "Danger" and a white arrow pointing to the spinning tail rotor. It is flying just a few metres above a grass field, with bushes and trees in the distance, under flat grey sky.

Side view of a high-winged, twin propellor-engined airliner parked facing to the left. The plane is mostly white, with black "CityFlyer" titles on the lower forward fuselage, partially broken up as the letters "TYF" are at least partially printed on the forward door, which is hinged upwards. The black registration "G-BUEB" is on the lower rear fuselage, just forward of the open rear door, which is hinged downwards to form a built-in set of airstairs. The tail is mauve, with diagonal white "CityFlyer Express" text, as well as the white text "ATR42" right at the top, above the horizontal stabiliser. Black asphalt apron fills the foreground, with a blue truck with a white stripe along the chassis parked facing to the left on the right of the frame. Trees stretch across the background, under bright but hazy sky that has a slight peach tint, which suggests this was taken shortly before sunset on a sunny day.

Side view of a high-winged, single-engined microlight aircraft parked facing to the left on grey tarmac. The plane has a red upper body, with a white lower fuselage, with very basic, almost rudimentary tri-cycle undercarriage hanging below. A large, almost tubular canopy over the cockpit is hinged to the planes left side, with a man in a wheelchair, wearing a white cap and a red t-shirt, on the other side leaning in to adjust something while a man wearing a plaid cad, grey and white banded polo shirt, and blue shorts stands looking on. A square blue piece of paper is taped to the inside of the cockpit canopy in the rear fuselage, reading "Fly this Aeroplane for £1" The black text "Aviation For Paraplegics and Tetraplegics Trust" is written on the leading edge of the white wing. A varnished wood propellor is attached to a small engine mounted on the rear of the fuselage, with a thin, white, metal tail boom above stretching rearwards from the rear of the wing, with the tail hanging down at the end, red at the front, and white with the black registration "G-MYLV" at the rear. The plane is casting a strong shadow on the ground, suggesting that the sun is coming from somewhere past the top right corner Grey asphalt fills the foreground, with a yellow, single engined military trainer aircraft in the background, as well as crowds of people, under pale blue sky with wisps of cloud.
