Side view of a delta-winged, 4 engined military bomber aircraft parked facing to the right. There is a blue, white, and red roundel on the nose, under the bump that is the cockpit, with another roundel on top of the right wing. The black serial "XM603" is on the power part of the tail, under a blue, white, and red fin flash, with red "Avro Vulcan" titles towards the top of the tail. There are people clustered under the belly of the plane, with another group of people under the tail, looking up at the engine exhausts, coming out of the rear of the wings, next to the rear fuselage. Green grass fills the foreground, with fluffy grey clouds filling the rest of the frame.

Side view of a single-engined light aircraft flying from right to left at a very low altitude, with fixed undercarriage under the fuselage, flaps extended from the rear of the wings and the nose raised sharply, suggesting it has just taken off. The plane is silver on top, and a creamy white on the bottom, the two colours separated by a thin red pin-stripe. The red registration is on the side of the rear fuselage, while the text "G115" is on the upper engine cowling in the plane's nose. The registration is repeated in a larger form under the left wing. Flat white sky fills the background.

Side view of a single-engined light aircraft taxiing from left to right across a grass airfield. The plane is in a metallic grey finish, with red and blue stripes swirling across the body, and the blue registration "G-CDOA", with a red drop-shadow, on the side of the rear fuselage. There is blue and red "EuroStar" text on the engine cowling in the nose, and black text "MainAir Flying School" above a web address and a telephone number on the tail. A large bubble canopy covers the 2 seat cockpit, with an man wearing a black cap and black polo-shirt in the right-hand seat and a woman with curly dark hair in the left-hand seat, looking at him and laughing, both of them wearing a headset and microphone.

Side view of a white, twin propellor-engined flying from left to right at a low altitude, it's wings banked to the left, with flaps lowered slightly behind the wings, and it's undercarriage stowed away. A bright light is shining forwards about halfway along each wing. The fuselage is mostly white, with a thin blue, red, and orange stripe running along the body from the nose, gradually getting wider as it moves rearwards, until the blue sweeps up to fill the tail. The number "227" is on the lower forward fuselage in large black print, with the much smaller registration "G-JATP" on the lower rear fuselage. Grey cloudy sky fills the rest of the frame.

Side view of a twin engined jet airliner taxiing from right to left along a grey taxiway lined with green gr4ass. The plane is mostly white, large, dark grey "Thomas Cook" titles on the upper forward fuselage, partially covering the passenger cabin windows, , with small, grey "Airbus A320" text on the lower forward fuselage, and the grey registration "G-TCAE" next to a small UK flag on the lower rear. A diagonal yellow band wraps around the rear fuselage, next to a light grey band, which is next to a dark grey band which wraps around the tail and the end of the rear fuselage. A large yellow love-heart fills the middle of the tail, with bright yellow matching engine pods mounted under the wings. Grass lines both sides of the taxiway, as well as another taxiway and a runway in the background. Grey sky fills most of the rest of the frame, with a bright spot on the upper middle.

Side view of a twin engined jet airliner moving from left to right at high speed, with flaps extended from the rear of the wing and the nose-wheel raised sharply, suggesting it is in the middle of taking off. The plane is almost entirely white, with plain red tail and engine pods, mounted under the wings. There are small, blue, "Estonian Air" stickers un the first 2 passenger cabin windows, while the black registration "ES-AEB" is over the last 2. The up-turned wingtips are also bright red. Green grass lines taxiways in the foreground, while a selection of grey hangars line the background, under grey sky.

Side view of a high-winged, single propellor-engined light aircraft flying straight and level from right to left at a very low altitude, with flaps extended from the rear of the wings, suggesting it is about to land. The plane is white, with a blue and black stripe running along the body, overlaid with the black registration "G-BPVA" on the sides of the rear fuselage, with similar stripes running over the spats on the undercarriage. Green grass fills the bottom of the frame, except for a narrow strip of yellow grass that runs across the frame. Trees fill the background.

Rear side view of a red, 2 seat autogyro taxiing from right to left with the main rotor locked in place. It is basically a red fibreglass shell wrapped around a metal frame, with a pair of open tandem cockpits with large perspex windshields, with a motor bolted on the back powering a pusher propellor, and another metal frame sticking backwards out of the bottom carrying the red tail on an angular metal boom. An uncovered nosewheel sticks out of the bottom of the fuselage, with a pair of rear wheel on struts, partially covered with red sponsons stick out to the sides from under the engine. The silver registration is on the red tail right at the back.Several metal poles stick out from the engine, just above the rear cockpit, supporting and providing some control to the large, 2-bladed main rotor. Both cockpit seats are filled, with people wearing matching flying suits, with red arms and legs and black bodies, as well as white full-face helmets. Grey tarmac taxiway fills the foreground, with 2 wings of an old, brown brick office building in the background, close enough to possibly be hit if the main rotor was spinning, with a white, high-winged, light aircraft parked between the wings.

Side view of a twin engined jet airliner taxiing from right to left, turning on to a grey runway. The plane is in a silver finish, with dark blue "SkyTeam" titles on the upper forward fuselage, above the forward cabin windows, and smaller "Air France" titles under those windows. The rear fuselage has some dark blue scrollwork, next to the black registration "F-GKXS" on the upper rear fuselage. The dark blue tail has a thin crescent forming the bottom of a white circle, the white word "SkyTeam" forming the top, and has some more white scrollwork in the middle. Green grass lines the sides of the taxiway in the foreground, with blue-grey sky filling the rest of the frame.
