Side view of a single engined light aircraft parked facing to the left on grass, it's rear fuselage hanging out over black asphalt. The plane has a white top half and a red lower half, with 3 gold stripes running through the middle, separating the two halves. The white registration "G-BTNV" is on the lower rear fuselage, partially obscured by the left wing. There is small, gold, seemingly hand-written text "Warrior II" on the engine cowling at the front, and small black text "Piper" under a red and blue triangle on the white bottom of the tail. The top of the tail is also red, with 3 gold stripes between the white and red. Green grass fills the foreground, with black asphalt and grey concrete in the background, with more grass in the distance.

Side view of a twin propellor-engined airliner parked facing to the right on squares of grey concrete apron. The plane is largely white, with a small UK flag under the cockpit windows, with small black "Euro Direct" titles on the upper forward fuselage, and a large, black, lower-case letter "E", rotated slightly clockwise, on the rear fuselage. The tail is yellow, with a large, black, lower-case letter "E" in the middle. Large white engine pods sit on the wings, with large, black, 4-bladed propellors at the front. Grey concrete apron fills the foreground, with crowds of people visible under the plane in the background, with a grey military fighter jet with it's cockpit canopy open in the background on the right. Grey and white clouds with hints of blue peeking through fill the rest of the frame, with a red, blue, and white helicopter on the upper right edge of the frame.

Elevated view of a single-engined, 4 seat light aircraft on display facing to the right in a museum. The lane is largely white, with dark blue stripes running along the body, the dark blue registration "G-AYTA" on the sides of the upper rear fuselage, and dark blue bands outlined in gold wrapped around the wings. The tail is white, with a dark blue stripe along the base, turning up to fill the movable rear section. The large canopy reveals a pair of blue seats in the front of the cockpit, with a blue bench seat for two people in the rear. Yellow floor fills the foreground and much of the background, with several other exhibits in the background - a dark red glider with long, thin, yellow wings on the right, a small autogyro with a red tail in the middle, and a long, thin helicopter fuselage covered in grey and green camouflage on the left.

Side view of a twin engined jet airliner flying from right to left at a low altitude, with undercarriage still lowered, flaps extended from the rear of the wings, and the nose raised sharply, suggesting it has just taken off. The plane is mostly white, with bright orange engine pods under the wings, orange "EasyJet" titles on the upper forward fuselage, and the black registration "G-EZUA" on the upper rear, next to a small EU flag. The orange rear fuselage and tail have large, white, diagonal "EasyJet" titles. The up (and down)-turned wingtips are bright orange, as are the flap-track covers under the wings. Bright blue sky fills the rest of the frame.

Low side view of a twin engined jet airliner flying from left to right at a very low altitude, with undercarriage lowered and flaps extended from behind the wings, suggesting it is about to land. The plane is mostly light blue, with a white lower fuselage, separated by a thin, dark blue stripe running along the body, sweeping up slightly over the wings. There are white "KLM CityHopper" titles on the upper forward fuselage, with blue "KLM" titles under a stylised blue crown on the white tail, and in a smaller form on the sides of the white engine pods. There is blue text "NXV-158" on the open nose-wheel doors. Thin fluffs of white cloud with patches of blue sky fill the rest of the frame.

Side view of a three engined jet airliner taxiing from left to right along a grey taxiway. The plane is mostly white, with a blue belly, and a pair of red pinstripes running along the body under the passenger cabin windows, separating the two colours. There are blue "Sterling" and reds "European" titles on the upper forward fuselage, in a hand-written style font, with the black registration "OY-SAU" on the upper rear fuselage, just ahead of the side-mounted engine pods. The engine pods themselves are white, with grey text "Silent 727"on the sides. The tail and centre engine intake have their colours reversed relative to the fuselage, white at the bottom and blue on top, with a pair of red pinstripes along the middle. There is a white oval at the top of the tail, with blue letters "S" and "A", with a red "E" in the middle. Slightly damp, grey concrete apron fills the foreground, with more apron in the background leading up to brown brick buildings and large black sheds in the distance, under grey sky.

Rather grainy side view of a twin engined jet airliner moving at speed along a black runway, with the bucket thrust reversers at the rear of the side-mounted engine pods deployed, slowing the plane down, suggesting it has just landed. The plane is mostly white, with a thick blue stripe running along the body, covering the passenger cabin windows, above a thinner red stripe, and a grey belly. The tail is white at the bottom and blue on the top half, with a red oval outlined in white at the top, with the white letters "JAT" in the middle. Green grass fills the foreground, with a black taxiway stretching across the bottom of the frame. More grass in the background leads up to trees in the distance, with a brown brick house on the right of the frame, under blue-grey sky.
