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 high-winged, twin propellor-engined airliner taxiing from left to right along a taxiway hidden behind some grass. The plane is white, with a pale blue belly, and light and dark blue "FlyBe" titles above a series of 6 coloured dots - 2 yellow, 2 red, and 2 purple. Larger, light and dark blue titles adorn the white tail and rear fuselage, with the black registration "G-ECOC" on a fillet at the front of the tail. There is the light blue text "WWWDotFlyBeDotCom"on the sides of the engine pods, under the wings, the engine pods also have pale blue undersides. A large grassed area fills the foreground, with more grass in the background, leading up to a white and yellow jet airliner, which in on an unseen runway, but appears to be on top of our plane. Rows of trees in the distance meet blue-grey skies.

Side view of a twin engined jet airliner parked facing away from the camera. The plane is largely white, with a deep purple belly and engine pods under the wings, and yellow rear fuselage and tail. There are blue "Olympus" titles on the upper forward fuselage, and the black registration "SX-ACP" on the lower rear. The tail has a blue image of the head of a person with long, flowing hair, wearing a floral crown, and with chains of flowers behind them. Strong sunlight from the upper right corner casts a shadow under the plane towards the bottom left. The plane is parked facing a strip of grass with a mesh metal barrier on the other side, with a large concrete area beyond filling the rest of the frame.

Side view of a single propellor-engined, 2-seat military trainer aircraft parked facing to the left on rather damp, black tarmac, suggesting it has just been raining.. The plane has a grey upper forward fuselage, with a red belly, the red wrapping up and over the top just after the tandem seat cockpit under a large bubble canopy. The rear fuselage is all grey, with a red, white, and pale blue roundel outlined in white, and the serial "312-UU" in black. There is a small, circular, blue and white logo at the base of the tail, which obviously is meant to resemble something, but to me only looks like coloured blobs, below a thick red stripe., and the black number "502" right at the top. The rear fuselage and tail of a darker grey military fighter jet can be seen in the background on the left, with some sort of camouflage structure behind the planes cockpit, and crowds of people on the right, some carrying umbrellas, suggesting that it may still be raining. Grim grey sky fills the rest of the frame.

Forward side view of a military helicopter with a heavily-glazed, bulbous cockpit, parked facing to the left on grass. It is covered in a grey and green camouflage pattern, with a blue and red roundel forward of the black word "Army" on the tailboom. The black serial "ZB666" is at the rear of the tailboom, with the grey letter "G" on the tail, just above the shrouded fan tail rotor. Green grass fills the foreground, with a large, brown brick building with windows on the upper walls covered with grey wooden planks filling the background. A white van with a yellow stripe along the body is on the left of the frame, in front of a grey and black military biplane with it's wings folded backwards.

Side view of a two-seat, open-cockpit auto-gyro parked facing to the right on a concrete pad surrounded by grass. The plane's body is mostly blue, with a white belly, with blue covers over the rear tricycle wheels, and a metal frame extending backwards from under the rear-mounted engine, holding the blue tai, as well as the blue horizontal stabiliser, with blue, vertical end plates on the ends of the stabiliser. The white registration "G-YROA" is on the tail. Another metal frame rises up from behind the rear cockpit, holding the main rotor. A red sleeve covers the end of the main rotor above the front of the plane, attached to the nose by a long red cord. Green grass fills the foreground and most of the background, with a couple of white vans on the grass in the distance, and trees beyond that, meeting gorgeous blue sky at the top of the frame.

Side view of a twin engined jet airliner taxiing from left to right along a black taxiway. The plane is largely white, with dark blue "Air France" titles just ahead of a short, diagonal red band on the upper forward fuselage. The black registration "F-HZUR" is on the upper rear fuselage, with the last 2 letters repeated on the front of the open nose-wheel doors. There is additional black text "Airbus A220-300" on the lower rear fuselage. The white tail has a series of diagonal blue bands, thicker by the leading edge and getting thinner as they move rearwards, with a thicker red stripe at the lower rear, as well as a small circle of gold stars of the top of the tails. There is the blue outline of a white circle, containing a stylised image of a winged blue sea-horse, in the middle of the white engine pods, repeated on the side of the forward fuselage, in between the cockpit windows and the forward door. The up-turned wing-tips are entirely dark blue. A black mesh fence topped with razor-wire stretches across the bottom of the frame, with a small group of people on this side of the fence. Grass leads up to the taxiway the plane is on, with more grass and taxiways in the background, with the rear fuselage of a white, red, and black airliner on a runway facing out of the right of the frame in the distance. Rows of trees beyond that meet the cloudy grey sky.
