SouthSide

Side view of a white, twin propellor-engined BizProp rotating as it takes off, moving from right to left with it's nose-wheel lifted off the ground and main wheels just lifting. There is a thin gold and blue stripe running along the body, turning up into the tail and getting wider, the gold stripe wrapping over the top of the body, the blue stripe forming the front of the tail. Ther registration "G-LYDF" is on the lower part of the tail, reflecting low but strong sunlight. The plane's pilot can be seen through the cockpit side window, but the dark cabin doesn't reveal any passengers. Green grass fills most of the foreground, with more grass leading up to a large grey hangar on the right, and the forward fuselage of a white jet airliner with blue and red "Avro RJX" titles on the side on the left of the frame. Leafless trees and grey sky fill the rest of the frame.

Side view of a twin engined jet airliner moving from right to left at a high speed, with the rear half of the engines under the wings in the slid-back position, exposing the thrust reversers, suggesting it has just landed. The plane is broadly a silvery-grey, with dark blue "SkyTeam" titles on the upper forward fuselage above large, dark blue "KLM" titles under a dark blue crown on the lower forward fuselage. Elaborate dark blue scrollwork covers the rear fuselage, ahead of small Netherlands and EU flags just in front of the horizontal stabiliser. The tail is dark blue, with the grey text "SkyTeam" arranged in a semi-circle, with a crescent moon forming the other half of the circle, and some more elaborate scrollwork in the middle. Green grass fills most of the foreground, with a runway and a taxiway cutting through the middle. A grey terminal building stretches across the background, with a couple of white and orange jet airliners parked in front. Pale blue sky fills the rest of the frame.

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.

Low side view of a very large, 4 engined jet airliner flying from left to right at a low altitude, with undercarriage lowered and flaps extended from the front and rear of the wings, suggesting it is about to land. The plane is mostly light grey, with large, black, billboard-style "CargoLux" titles on the side of the forward fuselage, and a red and blue stripe running along the body before sweeping up into the tail. The black registration "LX-VCA" is on the lower rear fuselage, with the last three letters repeated on the open nose-wheel doors. Blue sky with fluffs of white cloud fill the rest of the frame, with the tops of some trees visible at the bottom.

The plane is mostly white, with a dark blue belly, and dark blue "British Airways" titles on the lower forward fuselage. There isa twisted blue and red ribbon just aft of the cockpit windows, and the black registration "OY-NCN" on the upper rear fuselage. There are red-blue-red wavy stripes on the white tail.

Side view of a twin engined jet airliner taxiing from right to left along a grey taxiway. The plane is largely white, with a long and slim orange triangle reaching from above the cockpit to the lower rear fuselage, resembling nothing more than a bandana, overlaid with the white text "EasyJet" on the upper forward fuselage. The black registration "G-EZTZ" is on the upper rear fuselage. An orange band is wrapped around the rear fuselage and tail, with large, diagonal white text "EasyJet" along the leading edge. Bright orange engine pods hang under the wings, with triangular orange vertical plates on the end of the wings. Green grass and bushes fill the foreground, along with a mesh metal fence on metal supports, with more grass leading up to a grey runway in the distance, with a wide river beyond that, and an industrial landscape on the far banks. White and grey clouds floating in a blue sky fill the rest of the frame.

Side view of a twin-engined jet airliner lined up facing to the left on a grey runway. The plane is largely white, with red "Jet2 Holidays" titles on the lower forward fuselage, the word "Holidays" having a vertical orange-red gradient. There is red text "Package holidays you can trust" on the upper fuselage, centred over the wings, and the black registration "G-LSAJ" on the upper rear. A diagonal blue band is wrapped around the rear fuselage and tail, overlaid with a large, red, orange, and yellow sunburst on the lower rear of the tail and the tail-cone. The blue engine pods under the wings have a smaller version of the titles from the lower fuselage across the middle, including the gradient. Green grass fills the foreground, with more grass visible under the plane in the background. Some out-of-focus planes can be seen in the distance on the right of the frame, parked against a grey terminal building. Pale blue sky fills the rest of the frame.

Side view of a twin engined BizJet flying from left too right at a very low altitude, with undercarriage lowered and flaps extended from the rear of the wings, suggesting it is about to land. The plane is an overall cream colour, with only the white registration "N7i00GF on the sides of the jet engines mounted on the sides of the rear fuselage creating any contrast. Cars sparked in the long-term car park below it are reflected in the underside of the planes left wing. In the background, hazy clouds at the bottom of the frame give way to blue sky with wisps of cloud at the top.

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 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.
