Side view of a white, single-engined light aircraft taxiing from right to left on a grass airfield. There is a blue and red stripe running along the body, with the blue registration "G-CGMH" on the lower rear fuselage. The outer panels on the wings are tilted slightly upwards, with the tips painted red. There are white spats covering the fixed main wheels under the wings, with a pair of thin blue stripes running along the sides. Green grass fills most of the frame, with a high-winged, single engined light aircraft parked just behind this one. Trees stretch across the frame in the distance, under grey-blue skies.

Side view of a World War 2-era autogyro parked facing to the left on a large, concrete apron. The aircraft is covered in a brown and olive green camouflage pattern, with a yellow belly, with the large red letters "KX-H" below the two open, tandem cockpits, a blue, white, and red roundel outlined in yellow a bit further back, and the black serial"K4235" at the rear. There are large red, white, and blue fin flashes on the tail, as well as on the up-turned tips of the horizontal stabiliser. A large , twin-bladed rotary engine at the front is followed by long metal struts which hold the main landing gear, below more struts that hold a large, 3 bladed rotor overhead, just above the cockpit. In the background, the white delta wing of a large, 4-engined jet bomber stretches halfway across the frame from the left, with views across the airfield and rolling, tree-covered hills in the distance on the right, under cloudy grey sky.

Side view of a twin engined BizJet taxiing from right to left along a grey taxiway. The plane is white on top, with a dark blue belly, and a gold pin-stripe separating the two. 6 oval passenger windows line the side of the fuselage, with the white engine pods mounted on the sides of the upper rear fuselage, with the black registration "N3PG" in the middle. The tail is dark blue on the top left and white on the lower right, again separated by a thin gold stripe, a design slightly replicated on the up-turned wing-tips. Grey asphalt apron fills the foreground, with yellowing grass visible under the plane in the background, with fluffs of white cloud in front of bright but hazy grey cloud filling the top half of the frame.

Tails Tuesday 1st September 2026.

Vertically-oriented close-up of the rear fuselage and tail of a very large jet airliner. The plane is largely white, with a thick green and blue stripe running along the body, and the black registration "ZK-SUI" on the side of the upper rear fuselage. A green stripe fills the front and top of the white tail, with a large blue blob in the middle containing stylised white wind and waves. Grey concrete apron fills the background, with scattered airport furniture, things like yellow baggage carts or luggage loaders, or white mobile airstairs and vans, mostly on the right of the frame. A white, twin engined jet airliner with a dark blue tail is taxiing out of frame in the top right corner. Grass fills the top of the frame.

Close-up of the rear fuselage and tail of a jet airliner taxiing from right to left. The plane is mostly white, with only the black registration "HB-JLR" on the lower rear fuselage, and a red band across the tail containing a large white cross, marring the blankness. Gold sunlight washes across the body from the right. A large grey hangar with blue highlights is visible through jellied air under the rear fuselage, with grey-blue sky filling the rest of the frame.
