Side view of a twin propellor-engined airliner flying from left to right at a very low altitude with flaps extended from the rear of the wings, and undercarriage lowered, suggesting it was about to land.. The plane is mostly white, with a red and black stripe running along the body, under the passenger cabin windows, black "Manx" titles on the upper forward fuselage, and the black registration "G-LOGA" on the lower rear fuselage. The white tail has a pair of curved red lines, vaguely resembling an upper-case letter "L", with 3 black diagonal lines forming a triangle in the top right corner. Grey and white cloudy sky fills the background.

Side view of a single-engined military aircraft flying from left to right at a very low altitude, with flaps extended from the rear of the wings and undercarriage retracted into the wings. The plane is mostly a cream colour, with the top section being dark grey. The planes pilot is in the single seat cockpit over the front of the wings, while a second, heavily glazed compartment in the rear fuselage has a second crew member visible. There are a series of white and black vertical bands around the rear fuselage, overlaid with small text "Royal Navy", and the serial "WB271" overlaid on top. More white and black bands are around the wings and flaps, which are cream on the bottom and grey on top, with a larger version of the serial on the underside. The tail is the same cream, with a large black letter "R" at the top. At the front, the 4 bladed propellor is almost frozen in place, with yellow tips blurred into smears. Flat grey sky fills the background.

Side view of a twin engined jet airliner with the engines mounted on the sides of the rear fuselage, taxiing from right to left along a brown taxiway. The plane is largely white, with a thick green stripe running along the body, covering the passenger cabin windows, coming from large, green, billboard-style "ATI" titles on the side of the forward fuselage. The black registration "I-DAVB" is on the lower rear fuselage, just in front of the grey engine pods, with the last two letters repeated at the top of the tail, below the horizontal stabiliser. There is black text "Super 80" and "McDonnell Douglas" on the side of the engine pods. The flat grey roof of a terminal building sits in the foreground, with a black metal and perspex fence running along it's edge. Brown-grey apron fills most of the background, with a large piece of green grass stretching across the frame from the left, and a large grey hangar with blue piping in the top right of the frame, with a white, 3-engined jet airliner parked in front. Trees and a smaller, older, grey and brown hangar fill the top left corner.

Side view of a three-engined jet airliner taxiing from left to right along a grey taxiway. The plane is largely white, with a red, orange, and yellow stripe coming down from the top of the forward fuselage before running along the body, the yellow covering the passenger cabin windows. There are white "Iberia" titles on the upper forward fuselage, and the black registration next to a small red, yellow, and red Spanish flag on the lower rear fuselage below the side-mounted engines, repeated on the white, centre engine intake. The tail is white, with a large, red, lower-case letter "I" and a large, upper-case letter "B" in the middle, with a gold crown in the dot on the top of the "I". Slightly sun-bleached grey concrete apron fills the foreground and much of the background, with large, yellow metal frames behind a black metal fence in the distance on the left, and brown brick buildings on the right. Flat ground runs off to the horizon, with trees and buildings scattered throughout, meeting flat, dismal grey sky on the horizon.

Side view of a twin engined jet airliner with the engines mounted on the sides of the rear fuselage flying from left to right at a very low altitude, with undercarriage lowered and flaps extended from the rear of the wins, suggesting it is about to land. The plane is largely white, with a dark blue belly, and black "British Airways" titles on the lower forward fuselage. There is a twisted blue and red ribbon on the upper forward fuselage, between the cockpit and the forward cabin doors, and the black registration "G-EMBE" on the sides of the white engine pods on the sides of the rear fuselage. The tail is covered in white, light blue, mid blue, dark blue, and red wavy stripes that that overlap and twist around each other. Grey clouds fill the rest of the frame.

Side view of a high-winged, twin propellor-engined airliner flying from left to right at a very low altitude, maybe 3 metres above the dark grey runway, with undercarriage lowered and flaps extended from the rear of the wing, suggesting it is about to land. The plane is almost entirely white, with a thin metallic belly and the black registration "OY-EBA" on a fillet at the front of the tail marring the blandness. A strip of green grass runs across the bottom of the frame in the foreground, lining the side of the runway. More grass in the background leads up to a white, 3-engined jet airliner with a red horizontal stabiliser on the top of the tail, parked facing to the left, and looking a bit sorry for itself. Massed green trees fill most of the rest of the frame, with only a red brick building coming in to frame on the right, and a patch of grey sky in the top left corner providing a bit of colour.

On This Day 21st September 1992.

Side view of a three-engined jet airliner, with the engines mounted on the rear fuselage, taxiing from left to right along a grey taxiway. The taxiway is somewhat damp, suggesting it has just been raining, possibly that it still is raining. The plane is white on the top half, with a thick red stripe running along the body, covering the passenger cabin windows, with thinner, intermittent red stripes above and below, and a grey lower half. The large red registration "OK-BYO" is on the side of the centre engine intake, above the grey engine pods mounted on the sides of the rear fuselage. A rounded-off isometric cube, with white, red, and blue faces, and outlined in white, sits at the top of the tail. A wide strip of grass comes into the middle of the frame from the right of the foreground, with damp apron filling the rest, with more grass stretching across the frame in the background leading up to a series of connected, wide, black hangars and a metal-framed radar tower in the distance, under dismal grey sky.

On This Day 21st September 1996.

Side view of a twin engined jet airliner taxiing from left to right along a grey taxiway, following a yellow line marked on the surface. The plane is largely white, with a grey belly, and red "Swiss" titles on the upper forward fuselage. The black registration "HB-IPX" is on the lower rear fuselage. The tail is red, with a large white cross in the middle. Grey taxiway fills the foreground, with a low, sandy brown building stretching across the background from the left, and a white jet airline with a red and green band around the middle on the right. A large expanse of grass is in the distance, bisected by black runways running from side to side, is in the distance, with a white plane landing on one of the runways. Cream coloured hangars sit in the far distance, with green and grey military transport planes parked outside, under flat grey sky.
