Side view of a high-winged, twin propellor-engined airliner turning on to a wide, grey runway. The plane is white, with a dark blue tail and rear fuselage. No other markings are visible, apart from the yellow tips of the spinning black propellors. Green grass fills the foreground, with more grass lining the other side of the runway visible under the belly. A tall and wide terminal building stretches across the frame in the distance, under pale blue sky.Side view of a single engined light aircraft parked facing to the left on grass. The plane is largely white, with a pale browny-green and black stripe running along the body, over-laid with white registration "G-BCNZ" on the rear fuselage. Grass and trees fill most of the background, under grey cloudy sky.Side view of a white and grey, twin propellor-engined airliner taxiing from left to right. The plane has white upper surfaces and grey lower surfaces, with a pale blue stripe running along the body, and black "Cranfield" titles on the upper rear fuselage. There is a diagonal orange stripe on the tail, with the black registration "G-AXUI" passing through the base. The wing-mounted engine pods are dark blue, almost purple. Green grass fills the foreground. With more grass in the background leading up to trees in the distance, with tree-covered rolling hills beyond that. Grey sky fills the rest of the frame.Side view of a squat and boxy, high-winged, twin propellor-engined airliner flying from left to right at a low altitude, with undercarriage lowered and flaps extended from the rear of the wings, suggesting it is about to land. The plane is mostly white, with a dark green stripe running along the bottom of the fuselage, below a couple of thin, lighter green pinstripes. There are dark green "Manx" titles on the forward fuselage, under the cockpit, repeated in a smaller form over the rear cabin door. The registration "G-LEGS" is on the upper rear fuselage in black. The tail is dark green, with a thick red stripe outlined in white, under small "Manx" titles. There are 3 armoured legs, joined at the hip and running clockwise in a circle (known as a TriSkelion), on the red stripe on the tail. The plane's main landing gear is carried in sponsons mounted on stub wings on the side of the lower fuselage, with a long, thin support strut coming from the top and extending out and up, joining the wing outboard of the engines. Pale blue sky fills the background, with wisps of white cloud at the top and bottom.Side view of a twin propellor-engined airline parked facing to the left on grey concrete apron. The plane is grey on top, with a dark blue lower half, and a red pinstripe running along the body under the passenger cabin windows culminating in a half arrowhead just aft of the forward door. There are black "British Airways" titles on the upper forward fuselage, the grey registration "G-BTPM" on the lower rear fuselage, just forward of the rear door, and the grey letters "TPM" on the open nosewheel doors. The bottom of the tail is grey, with a red and dark blue triangle in the upper rear corner, with a dark blue upper half containing a grey royal crest, and the grey letters "TPM" at the top. A yellow set of metal steps is placed by the closed forward door. A blue hangar dominates the background, with a white office block attached to the left side. Through the open doors, the tail and rear fuselage of a white airliner with a red and black strip on the body can be seen. Outside, another, smaller, white, twin propellor-engined airliner with a brown stripe along the body and on the tail is parked facing to the right, with another grey building beyond that. Bright but cloudy sky fills the reast of the frame.Low side view of a 3 engined jet airliner with the engines mounted on the rear fuselage, flying from left to right at a low altitude almost directly overhead, with undercarriage lowered and flaps extended behind and in front of the wings, suggesting it is about to land. The plane is mostly white, with a grey belly, and a thin red and blue stripe running along the body from the nose, getting winder as it moves rearwards to fill the tail. The tail has a white circle with a red and white striped pennant waving in the middle. Murky grey sky fills the rest of the frame.Side view of a 3 engined jet airliner with the engines mounted on the sides of the rear fuselage, taxiing from left to right along a grey taxiway lined with green grass. The plane is mostly white, with a grey lower half, and a thick blue stripe running along the body, covering the passenger cabin windows. There are dark blue titles in a Cyrillic script that transliterate into English as "Aeroflot". The number "85701" is on the centre engine intake, right at the front of the tail, while the tail itself carries the blue and yellow flag of the newly reconstituted nation of Ukraine. Grey engine pods mounted on the sides of the rear fuselage make the whole thing look tail heavy. A grey concrete taxiway stretches across the bottom of the frame, with a large patch of grass separating that from the taxiway this plane is on, with more grass in the background dividing more taxiways. A black, white, and red building on the right of the background had a black brick tower with a heavily glazed top floor in the middle of the frame, with a large, boxy, green metal structure behind it, looming over everything. Trees led off into the distance on the left of the frame, under dull grey sky.Side view of a high-winged, twin propellor-engined airliner taxiing from right to left along a damp grey taxiway. The plane is mostly white, with a grey belly, and a yellow sunburst coming from under the rear fuselage, sweeping up into the tail. There are large, blue "Air Engiadina" titles on the lower forward fuselage, above smaller red text "The Swiss Regional Airline", and a red oblong with the yellow text "Hallwag" on the side of the engine pods, above the black word "International". The black registration "HB-AEG" is under the tail on the rear fuselage, while a small Swiss flag is at the top of the tail. Large puddles of standing water on the ground reflect back a distorted image of this plane in the foreground, while large areas of green grass line a black runway in the background. A grey concrete building with a flat roof in front of an unkempt grassy bank stands out like a sore thumb in the distance.

Side view of a twin engined jet airliner touching down on a grey runway, the rear halves of the engines slid back exposing the thrust reversers, and the nose-wheel kicking up a bit of dust as it connects with the surface, all suggesting that this plane is just landing. The plane is white on top with a grey belly. A pair of red lines run above and below the passenger cabin windows, joining at the front under the cockpit, and at the rear under the tail. The windows have each been painted to give them a crenelated appearance, as if they are windows in a castle. There are red "Air India" titles on the upper forward fuselage, just aft of a waving Indian flag, and the red registration "VT-EJK" on the lower rear fuselage. A heavily stylised red bird, looking more like a slightly warped triangle than anything else, adorns the tail, with diagonal Sanskrit titles that trans-literate into English as "Air India" running diagonally down the leading edge. Green grass crossed with grey concrete taxiway fills the foreground, with more grass in the background leading off to trees in the distance, under grim grey sky.

Front-side view of a twin engined jet airliner taxiing from left to right and slightly towards the camera. The plane is mostly white, with an orange oval on the forward fuselage containing the white words "My Travel" (with "My" in a smaller blue circle), and a larger oval covering most of the rear fuselage and part of the tail.

Grey concrete apron fills the foreground and most of the background, with a thin strip of grass stretching across the middle of the background. The undercarriage of another jet airliner can be seen in the distance at the top of the frame.
