Side view of a white, twin engined jet airliner with the engines mounted on the sides of the rear fuselage, taxiing from left to right along a grey taxiway. There are large, grey "Helvetic" titles on the side of the forward fuselage, covering the passenger cabin windows, above smaller grey "Airways" titles. The grey registration "HB-JVF" is on the sides of the white engine pods mounted on the sides of the rear fuselage. A diagonal red band wraps around the tail and rear fuselage, with a large white cross in the middle of the tail. Lush green grass fills the foreground, while there is a blue and white airliner trying to sneak out of frame on the left of the background, and rolling hills in the distance, under bright but hazy sky.

Side view of a 3 engined jet airliner taxiing from right to left. The plane is mostly white, with blue "SafAir" titles on the upper forward fuselage, and the registration "ZS-NOV" on the bare metal engine pods mounted on the sides of the rear fuselage. Grey concrete apron fills the foreground, with grass areas lining the side of a black runway in the background, with black hangars in the distance with white light aircraft and white and yellow vehicles in front. Cloudy sky with hints of blue fill the rest of the frame.

Side view of a yellow and blue helicopter parked facing to the right on a grey asphalt pad. There are blue bands running under the helicopters body, and a large blue cross on the underside of the rear fuselage, blue text "North West Air Ambulance Charity" on the forward cabin doors at the front of the body, and a large, black QR code and the words "Support us" on the rear cabin door. The partial black registration "WAA" is on the sides of the yellow tail boom, coming from the top of the upper rear fuselage. The tail is blue, with a shrouded fan at the rear of the boom, with a blue horizontal stabiliser with blue endplates just in front. Green grass lines the side of this helipad in the bottom left and right corners, with more grass in the background on the left, and more black asphalt on the right, with the white, seemingly pre-fabricated control tower on the right of the background in the distance. Cloudy grey sky with occasional bright patches fill the rest of the frame.

Side view of a large model aircraft, missing it's propellor in the nose, mounted facing to the left and tilted slightly towards the camera on a grey metal pole attached to the bottom of the plane under the cockpit, as part of an art installation. The plane is covered in a grey and brown camouflage, with the cockpit painted grey instead of clear glass. The grey letters "JV" and "V" either side of a yellow, blue, white, and red roundel on the sides of the rear fuselage, overlaid on 3 white and 2 black bands wrapped around the rear fuselage, along with the black serial "W3451". Similar white and black bands are wrapped around the wings, partially overlaid with large blue and red roundels on the wings, the roundel on the right, raised, wing slightly peeling away towards the rear. A red brick building fills most of the background from the right, with cream or yellow sections above and below the white-framed windows, with another brick building, painted yellow, with thee paint peeling off, and red window frames, on the left.

Side view of a single-engined light aircraft parked on black tarmac facing to the right. The plane is mostly white, with a blue stripe swooping it's way along the body, the blue registration "G-DPAZ" on the rather thin rear fuselage. White spats cover the fixed main landing gear, while the tips of the wings are turned upwards. A large wet patch covers part of the tarmac under the plane, where it has been washed. A man wearing a grey cap and a grey jacket over a blue t-shirt can be seen on the far side of the planes tail. In the background, a blue hangar with white trim stretches across the frame, with the open door revealing the white inner walls, and a couple of planes parked inside.
