Side view of a blue helicopter parked on a concrete landing pad, surrounded by green grass. There is a gold stripe running along the body, with large gold text "R44" above smaller gold text "Raven II" just aft of the cockpit doors. The gold Registration "G-OGJC" sis on the long, blue tail-boom, which has a 2-bladed, black and white stripes rotor at the end, above a red and white striped pole attached to the underside of the boom. A tall blue fairing is wrapped around the main rotor mast. Green grass in the background stretches off into the distance, with trees on the horizon meeting blue sky with fluffs of white cloud.

Front side view of a high-winged, 4 propellor-engined military transport aircraft, parked facing to the left on wet concrete. The plane is covered in a grey and brown camouflage scheme, except for the radome in the nose, which is black, and the 4-bladed propellors, which are light grey, with two red and one white bands on the tips. The large, black, number "210" sits on the lower forward fuselage, under the extensively glazed cockpit, with smaller, black text "Royal Air Force" on the upper forward fuselage, above the open forward door which hangs down from the bottom of the fuselage, creating pale blue built-in air-stairs. A long, grey, in-flight refueling boom sticks forward from the top of the forward fuselage, extending out of the top left of the frame. A series of 5 Squadron crests (white circles with black designs in the middle, surrounded by light blue and gold wreathes, with a gold and red crown sitting on top, and gold scrollwork underneath) sit above and behind the door, running backwards towards the wing. A large blue and red roundel is on the upper rear fuselage, just forward of the black serial "XV210". A large UK flag is on the side of the tail. The large cargo ramp that form the rear of the fuselage is in its lowered position, and a crowd of people are queueing up to go inside for a look around. A man in brown, green, and sand military fatigues is walking down the left side of the frame Flat white sky fills the rest of the frame.

On This Day 22nd August 2013.

Front side view of a twin-engined jet airliner taxiing from right to left and turning slightly towards the camera, more or less following a yellow line marked on the concrete taxiway. The plane is largely white, with a grey belly, and red "EuroWings" titles on the upper forward fuselage. The black registration "D-AGWD" is on the upper rear fuselage, just aft of a small German flag. The white tail has a pair of yellow and red twisted ribbons, pointed downwards, a design repeated in a smaller form on the nose, under the cockpit windows. Grey concrete apron fills almost all of the image, with a thin strip of grass on the middle left, and some white airstairs and a white truck just coming into view in the top left corner.

On This Day 22nd August 2017.

Side view of a mostly white, twin engined jet airliner taxiing from right to left along a grey taxiway. There are red "Hainan Airlines" titles on the upper forward fuselage, in a Chinese script towards the front, and in English over the wing root. A yellow and red stripe comes from under the forward belly, swooping over the wing, and back down under the rear fuselage, getting wider as it goes, the red growing to fill the rear fuselage and tail, with an additional yellow swirl coming from the rear cabin windows up towards the tail. The black registration "B-2728" is on the upper rear fuselage, just above the rear cabin windows, and black text "Boeing 787-8" under the rear-most windows. Yellow swirls outlined in orange fill the red tail. White engines with scalloped rear edges hang under the wings. Grey concrete apron fills the foreground, marked with yellow lines for planes to follow, as well as black markers with yellow text showing the way to various gates. Several other jet airliners are in the background, mostly in shades of white, blue, and red, the nearest two parked facing to the left, the one at the rear taxiing to the right. A ground-level car park is in the distance, with dense rows of green trees stretching across the frame, under grey skies.

On This Day 22nd August 2025.

View from below of a 3 engined BizJet flying from right to left at a low altitude, with flaps extended and the undercarriage lowered, suggesting it is about to land. The plane is mostly white, with a black stripe swooping it's way along the lower fuselage, as well as along the tail. The black registration "9H-GRS" is on the sides of the engine pods mounted on the sides of the rear fuselage, as well as under the left wing. A bright light is shining in the wing root, slightly blowing out that part of the frame, as well as another light on the nose-wheel. Hazy grey sky fills the rest of the frame.
