Side view of a high-winged, single-engined light aircraft, parked facing to the left and slightly away from the camera in the middle of a grass field. The plane is mostly white, with an orange/grey/orange stripe starting just aft of the propellor and swooping up over the rear fuselage, just aft of the rear cabin window, and the silvery-grey registration "G-IHXD" on the side of the rear fuselage. Close-cropped green grass fills the foreground and much of the background, with slightly longer grass filling the top of the frame.

On This Day 8th October 1996.

Side view of a twin engined jet airliner parked facing to the left. The plane is mostly white, with large, blue, billboard-style "Apollo" titles on the forward fuselage, blue engine pods under the wings, and a blue tail with a black and white image of a person in vaguely Grecian garb. A white set of mobile air stairs is attached to the mid-cabin door just forward of the wing. Grey concrete apron fills the foreground, with yellowing grass in the background leading off to trees vanishing in to haze in the distance. Flat grey sky fills the frame.

On This Day 8th October 2014.

Heavily back-lit shot of a high-winged, twin-engined jet airliner flying from left to right at a low altitude, with undercarriage extended, flaps deployed from the rear of the wings, and the nose level, suggesting it is about to land. The plane is mostly white, with a dark blue belly, and black "British Airways" titles along the lower fuselage, under the wings, as well as a twisted blue and red ribbon on the upper forward fuselage. The black registration "OY-NCN" is on the upper rear fuselage. Wavy red, blue, and red stripes run along the tail, almost forming a triangle. Pale blue sky with bright white clouds fills the background.

Side view of a grey and dark blue, very large, 4 engined jet airliner parked facing to the left. The top half of thew plane is grey, with a dark blue lower half, with some red piping on the blue section. There are black "British Airways" titles on the upper forward fuselage. The tail is dark blue on the top half, the bottom being grey with a red and dark blue triangle under the blue top half. Grey concrete apron fills the foreground, running off into the distance, eventually giving way to trees and buildings. The white tail of another airliner can be seen above the rear fuselage of this plane. Pale blue sky fills the rest of the frame, with fluffs of grey cloud on the left.

Side view of an almost entirely white, twin engined jet airliner with the engines mounted on the sides of the rear fuselage, nose-in to a terminal building on the right of the frame, facing to the right, but being pushed back to the left by an out-of-frame tug attached to the nose-wheel by a long blue pole. There is black "DC-9" text on the side of the engine pods on the rear fuselage, the black registration "YU-AJL" on the upper rear fuselage, and a small Yugoslavian flag on the bottom front of the white tail. Grey concrete apron fills the foreground, with a man wearing dark trousers and a yellow hi-viz vest walking from right to left across the bottom of the frame. In the background, a section of apron has been marked out with orange and white traffic cones, with a couple of yellow vehicles parked in the middle, with sets of white airstairs and green trucks parked around the lowest edge, and yellow trucks driving past the top. A grey and dark blue airliner is being towed across a black runway beyond that, with a grey and yellow terminal building at the top of the frame, in the distance.
