Side view of a 4 engined military jet submarine-hunter aircraft, parked facing to the right on concrete hard-standings in the middle of a field of gravel, on outdoor display in a small museum. The plane is entirely grey, with a large grey probe extending forward from above the cockpit windows, reaching out of the right side of the frame. The engines are buried in pairs in the wing root, with red covers inside the intakes. A blue pod hangs from a pylon under the right wing. Grey gravel fills the foreground, with metal barriers making a walkway up to a grey set of mobile airstairs parked against the planes main door behind the cockpit. Lush grey sky fills the top of the frame.

Side view of a high-winged, single-engined light aircraft taxiing from right to left along a black taxiway. The plane is largely white, with a blue and gold stripe swooping it's way along the body, overlaid with the black registration "G-TIFG" on the side of the rear fuselage, just in front of the white tail. Similar blue stripes run along the spats covering the tricycle undercarriage. A man wearing a grey t-shirt can be seen sitting in the left seat in the cockpit. Black asphalt fills the foreground, with a red-brick building with red-framed windows filling the background.

Side view of a twin propellor engined airliner parked facing to the left. The plane is mostly white, with large, blue, billboard-style "THT" titles on the forward fuselage, and the black registration "G-BRLY" on the lower rear fuselage, with the registration repeated under the left wing, outboard of the engine pod. The blue tail has a white circle in the middle, containing a stylised flying blue bird. A temporary metal fence stretches across the foreground, with the T-tail of another plane just visible over the top of this plane in the background, under flat grey skies.

Elevated front view of a single-engined light aircraft on display, facing the camera, in a museum. The plane is white, with a thin gold stripe either side of a thicker, dark blue stripe around the wings. The foreground is filled with a pale yellow floor, which continues on through most of the rest of the frame, with blue floor in the top left. More exhibits sit in the background, - an orange jet aircraft on the right, a dark red glider with yellow wings on the right, and a microlight with it's wing on the ground in the middle at the top. Bright sunlight streams in from a window at the top of the frame.

Low side view of a twin engined jet airliner flying almost directly overhead at a very low altitude, with flaps hanging down from the front and rear of the wings, and the undercarriage extended, suggesting it is about to land. The plane is largely white, with a diagonal blue band wrapped around the forward fuselage and cockpit, followed by a series of yellow bands, which get progressively thinner and don't reach quite as far under the body, until eventually they peter out just in front of the wing. There are black "Air Columbus" titles on the upper forward fuselage, and the black registration "CS-TKC" on the upper rear. The dark blue and yellow stripes are repeated on the white tail, with black "Air Columbus" titles over the top. White and grey clouds fill the background, with a large patch of blue in the top right corner.

Side view of a twin engined jet airliner, with the engines mounted on the sides of the rear fuselage, taxiing from left to right along a grey taxiway. The plane is largely white, with a blue stripe running along the body, covering the passenger cabin windows, and a three-tone blue band wrapping round the lower forward fuselage, just aft of the main door. There are blue "FinnAir" titles on the upper forward fuselage, with a blue circle under the cockpit windows on the nose, containing a stylised white letter "F" with a long tail that stretches back to the other side of the circle. The blue registration "OH-LYN" is on the upper rear fuselage, just ahead of the side-mounted engines. The tail is white, with a large blue cross in the middle, and black text "DC-9" at the base. Grey concrete apron and a taxiway fill most of the foreground, with a wide strip of grass coming in from the left. A large grey building stretches across the frame in the background, with a green metal wall on the left.

Side view of a twin engined jet airliner flying from left to right at a very low altitude, with flaps extended from the rear of the wings and the undercarriage lowered, suggesting it is just about to land. The plane is largely white, with thin, gold and red pinstripes running along the body, sweeping up into the lower reaches of the tail and getting slightly wider at the rear, and red "Air 2000" titles with a golden drop shadow on the upper forward fuselage, repeated in a larger form towards the top of the white tail. The red registration "G-OOAB" is on the side of the rear fuselage. The engine pods under the wings are red, with a thick white stripe running through the middle, overlaid with gold and red pinstripes. Flat grey sky fills the rest of the frame.
