Front view of a very large, 4-engined jet airliner being disconnected from a low-slung white tug that has just pushed it back from it's stand. The plane is almost entirely white, with a red tail with indistinct white markings on the side. There are large, thin, purple "Virgin Atlantic" titles on the side of the upper fuselage, with an image of a flying woman wearing a ed leotard and trailing a waving United Kingdom flag from her left wrist, under the cockpit windows, above the small black text "Ruby Tuesday". Grey concrete apron with a slight pink tint fills the foreground, with a different type of tug and a baggage loader following a roadway marked on the surface. More concrete apron fills the near background, with the blue rear fuselage and tail of another jet airliner coming into frame on the left. A ground level car park in the distance stretches across the frame, with trees beyond, under a grey sky.

View from underneath of a black helicopter flying overhead from left to right at a low altitude. The yellow text "Police" is on the side of the lower fuselage, as well as under the nose. The larger, yellow registration "G-POLG" runs vertically along the left side of the belly, repeated diagonally on the side of the leading edge of the tail. The yellow engine cowling can be seen on top of the fuselage, under the spinning 4-bladed main rotor. A long, black tail boom hold the tail away from the body, the shrouded fan in the middle spinning rapidly, with a horizontal stabiliser and additional vertical control surfaces mounted 2/3rds of the way back. Pale blue sky fills the rest of the frame.

Side view of a high-winged, twin propellor-engined airliner flying from right to left at a low altitude, with undercarriage lowered, and flaps drooping from the rear of the wings, suggesting it is about to land. The plane is mostly white, with green "Aer Lingus" titles on the upper forward fuselage, and smaller green "Regional" titles on the lower ford fuselage. The black registration "EI-HDK" is on the lower rear fuselage, next to a small Irish flag. The engine pods under the wings are a pale blue-green. A similar pale blue-green band wraps diagonally around the rear fuselage and tail, with a thinner, bright green diagonal band just in front. A bright green shamrock fills the tail. Cloudy sky with patches of pale blue fill the background.

Front view of a large helicopter on display on the roof of a building. The copter is bright yellow, with a thick green and red stripe that starts as a diamond shape on the nose, then runs along the bottom of the body, switches to the top of the tail boom, then up behind the tail rotor. The engine is in the nose, which has clam-shell doors for access, and massive ventilation grills all around. The cockpit is on top of the fuselage, directly below and in front of the rotor mast, with crew access via a large, heavily glazed door with the metal frame painted red. The window in that door bulges out slightly, to give the crew some downward visibility for landing. There is a sliding passenger door in the side of the fuselage, with a window in the top half, and a slightly larger window in the area the door slides back into. Just in front of that door is one of the mounting points for the undercarriage, which extends out from the fuselage on 2 black metal struts, the other being right at the bottom, just aft of the engine bay. Temporary metal fences surround this aircraft on the left, although some of they are hardly temporary, being rather weathered. 3 people in brightly coloured coats can be seen looking over the roof of the building, at whatever is happening below. Another terminal building stretches across the frame in the distance, under grey sky.
