Side view of a twin engined jet airliner taxiing from left to right along a black runway, with flaps extended from the front and rear of the wings. It is turning off the runway onto a taxiway, which suggests it has just landed. The plane is largely white, with a thick purple stripe running along the body, covering the passenger cabin windows, with an orange pinstripe below, over a thin gold stripe that gets wider as it moves rearwards, curving down to run under the rear fuselage. There are purple "Singapore Airlines" titles on the upper forward fuselage, just forward of a small Singapore flag. The up-turned wingtips are mostly the same purple, with a bright orange diagonal stripe along the trailing edge. This design is repeated on the tail, with the addition of a highly stylised, golden flying bird in the middle. Green grass fills the foreground, a black sign with a pair of white chevrons pointing left in the bottom right corner, and a black metal mesh fence on black support struts in the lower right. More grass in the background leads up to trees in the distance, under blue-grey sky.

Side view of a high-winged, single-engined light aircraft parked facing to the left on grass. The plane is mostly dark blue, with a thick white stripe running along the bottom of the body, with a thinner white pinstripe running from the nose to the tail, under the cockpit, overlaid with the white registration "G-AWVA" on the side of the rear fuselage. There is a white stripe near the top of the tail, with the word "Cessna" in black. Orange and white traffic cones are attached to the underside of support struts running from the bottom of the fuselage to the underside of the mid-point of the wings by a long blue rope, acting as weights in case of high winds. Green grass fills the foreground. A silver light aircraft is in the background, a blue cover over the cockpit area, with it's silver, yellow, and black tail towering over this plane. More grass in the background leads up to trees and bushes beyond that, with rolling hills meeting grey sky in the distance.

There are large, purple, billboard-style "Virgin Atlantic" titles on the sides of the forward fuselage. An image of a female figure wearing a short red dress and trailing a red, white, and blue British flag from one wrist. Grey concrete apron fills the foreground and most of the background, with the white, blue, red, and orange rear fuselage and tail of another airliner in the background on the left.

Side view of a helicopter hovering just a few metres over a grass airfield. The chopper is white on the top half of the body, with a blue belly, sweeping up to the rear of the body and filling the tail-boom and tail, over-laid with red and green stripes at the rear of the body. There are blue "National Grid" titles on the cowlings over the engine on top of the fuselage, repeated in a smaller form on the blue stripe at the rear of the tail. The large, white registration "G-RIDB" is on the tail-boom. Grass fills the foreground, with bushes and trees in the background, under flat white sky.

Low front view of a high-winged, twin propellor-engined airliner flying from left to right at a very low altitude, with undercarriage lowered from sponsons on the lower fuselage, and flaps extended from below the wings, suggesting it is about to land. The plane is mostly white, with a dark blue-green tail with lime-green piping and a lime-green shamrock, and small, green "Regional" titles on the lower forward fuselage. The black registration "G-CMJL" is on the lower rear fuselage, as well as under the left wing. The 6-bladed propellors attached to the blue-green engine pods on the wings are almost blurred into smears, reflecting golden sunlight. Pale blue sky fill the rest of the frame, with wisps of white cloud in the lower left corner.

Side view of a twin-engined jet airliner flying from left to right 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 white, with dark blue "Air France" titles on the upper forward fuselage, next to a short, diagonal, red stripe, with the black registration "F-GKXM" on the upper rear fuselage. The tail is white, with a series of 3 dark blue diagonal stripes, the thickest at the front and the thinnest at the rear, followed by a shorter, thick red stripe, and a circle made up of small gold stars at the top of the first stripe. Bright sunlight reflects strongly from the side of the fuselage, mostly running along the area around the passenger cabin windows, and the tail. Blue sky with a hint of grey haze fills the rest of the frame.

Low head-on view of a helicopter flying towards and over the camera. The aircraft is mostly white, with a blue belly and white undersides, with black text "National Grid" on the white underside. It is equipped with landing skids instead of wheels, and has a bright light shining in the nose, just above a black camera pod on a downward facing mounting. A high shutter speed means the 4-bladed main rotor appears frozen in place. Flat grey sky fills the rest of the frame.

Side view of a twin propellor-engined airliner flying from right to left at a very low altitude, it's wheels just centimetres above the black runway, it's raised nose suggesting it is taking off. The plane is largely white, with a black belly, red "LoganAir" titles on the upper forward fuselage, and black text "Scotland's Airline" on the upper rear.

Side view of a single-engined bi-plane taxiing across a grass field from left to right. The plane is mostly white, with blue, purple, red, orange, and yellow stripes on the body, resembling the body of an eagle, with the wings covered with similar coloured stripes resembling eagle wings. 2 people can be seen sitting in the tandem-seated cockpit, under a large bubble canopy.
