Side view of a twin engined jet airliner flying from left to right at a very low altitude, just a few metres above a black runway, with flaps extended in front of and behind the wings, the undercarriage lowered, and the nose raised, suggesting it has just taken off. The plane is blue on top, with a white lower third, the white swooping up over the wing and back down again. There are red "Thomson" titles on the upper forward fuselage, and a red winky-face made up of the letters "T", "U", and "I" on the blue tail. The blue on the rear fuselage, just in front of and below the tail, swops downwards, the space filles by a dark blue patch. The white registration "G-TUID" is on the dark blue part of the upper rear fuselage, next to a small UK flag, above the rearmost cabin windows and just ahead of the rear door, with white text "Boeing 787-8" just aft of the door. There is cream text "Dream)Liner" below the rear cabin windows. Large, white engine pods hang below and in front of the wing, the scalloped edges of the rear of the fairings being rather obvious. A black taxiway stretches across the bottom of the frame, with strips of grass separating that from the black runway, and more grass visible under the pane in the background leading up to trees in the distance, under bright but hazy sky with patches of pale blue peeking through.

Rear view of a very large, 4 engined jet airliner facing directly away from the camera. The plane is almost entirely white, with a red band around the rear fuselage, with a green and black diagonal stripe visible on the tail, and a red patch under the body. A large engine under each of the massive wings (and another engine further out on each side) match the planes humungous fuselage and tail, and somehow manage to make the trees in the background seem small. Shooting through a chainlink fence results in some slight vignetting in the bottom half of the frame. Cloudy grey sky with streaks of blue fill the rest of the frame.

Side view of a twin engined jet airliner taxiing from left to right along a grey taxiway. The plane is largely white, with a cream-coloured lower and rear fuselage, separated by a green and gold stripe coming from under the lower forward fuselage, then running over the wing and towards the tail-cone. There are large, green, billboard-style "PIA" titles on the side of the forward fuselage, over smaller, golden, "Pakistan International" text. Green Arabic calligraphy sits on the side of the forward fuselage, between the cockpit windows and forward passenger windows. The green registration "AP-BGY" is on the lower rear fuselage, under the rear-most cabin windows, with black text "Boeing 777-300ER" underneath, and green Arabic text just above those windows. The tail is mostly dark green, with a white star above a white crescent moon, with white waves at the base. The large engines, mounted under the wings, are the same cream colour as the rear fuselage. Green grass fills the foreground, with grey sky filling the rest of the frame.

Side view of a white, twin engined jet airliner with the engines mounted on the sides of the rear fuselage, taxiing from left to right along a grey taxiway. There are large, grey "Helvetic" titles on the side of the forward fuselage, covering the passenger cabin windows, above smaller grey "Airways" titles. The grey registration "HB-JVF" is on the sides of the white engine pods mounted on the sides of the rear fuselage. A diagonal red band wraps around the tail and rear fuselage, with a large white cross in the middle of the tail. Lush green grass fills the foreground, while there is a blue and white airliner trying to sneak out of frame on the left of the background, and rolling hills in the distance, under bright but hazy sky.

Forward side view of a military helicopter with a heavily-glazed, bulbous cockpit, parked facing to the left on grass. It is covered in a grey and green camouflage pattern, with a blue and red roundel forward of the black word "Army" on the tailboom. The black serial "ZB666" is at the rear of the tailboom, with the grey letter "G" on the tail, just above the shrouded fan tail rotor. Green grass fills the foreground, with a large, brown brick building with windows on the upper walls covered with grey wooden planks filling the background. A white van with a yellow stripe along the body is on the left of the frame, in front of a grey and black military biplane with it's wings folded backwards.

Side view of a single-engined light aircraft parked facing to the left on grass. The plane is mostly white, with a grey band wrapped around the lower rear fuselage, and a thin red pinstripe running along the middle of the body. The white registration "G-SGSE" is on the side of the lower rear fuselage, under the small black text "Archer II" and a block of text in a flowing Arabic script, which has a small Palestinian flag overlaid with the words "Free Palestine" through the middle next to it. A red stripe and a pair of grey stripes run through the middle of the spats on the tri-cycle under-carriage. Green grass fills the foreground, with several more light aircraft parked on more grass in the background. Trees line the airfield perimeter, meeting blue sky with patches of fluffy cloud.

Low side view of a twin engined jet airliner flying from left to right almost directly overhead at a very low altitude, with undercarriage lowered and flaps extended from the rear of the wing, suggesting it is about to land. The plane is largely white, with dark blue "Lufthansa" titles on the upper forward fuselage, smaller text "Airbus A320-200" and "Kieve" on the lower forward fuselage, immediately aft of the forward cabin door, and the letters "QW" on the open nose-wheel door. The black registration "D-AIQW" is on the lower rear fuselage, next to small German and EU flags. The rear fuselage and tail is dark blue, with the silver outline of a circle, containing a stylised silver flying bird. Pale blue sky fills the rest of the frame.

Side view of a high-winged, twin propellor-engined airliner taxiing from left to right along a dark grey taxiway. The plane is almost entirely white, with light and dark blue "FlyVLM" titles on the lower forward fuselage, and the black registration "OO-VLM" on the sides of the rear fuselage. The engine pods mounted on the front of the wings have light and dark blue text "FlyVLMDotCom" on the sides, with the plane's main undercarriage descending from the rear of those pods. Large, blue, diagonal "VLM" titles are on the front of the tail and rear fuselage, with trailing golden wing feathers stretching behind. Green grass lines the runway in the foreground, with a grey roadway coming off at an angle, heading to the bottom right corner. More grass in the background leads up to another black runway in the distance, with trees beyond, and trees on a low hill vanishing into haze beyond that.

Side view of a twin engined jet airliner parked on grey concrete apron, facing to the right. The plane has a white upper half and a dark blue belly, with a yellow stripe separating the 2 sections, and dark blue, billboard-style "RyanAir" titles on the forward fuselage, just aft of a large, blue, winged Irish harp. The black registration "EI-EVZ" is on the upper rear fuselage, next to a small Irish flag. The tail is dark blue, with a large, yellow, winged Irish harp filling most of the space. Portable power units and stray baggage carts surround he plane in the foreground, with passengers climbing built-in air-stairs on the other side on the right of the frame. Bright but hazy sky fills the rest of the frame.

Side view of a grey, twin-engined, bi-plane airliner on display facing to the left inside a museum. The plane the black name "Pioneer" in an italic script on the nose, under the cockpit windows, and the black text "Allied Airways" over smaller text "(Gander Dower) Ltd" under the forward passenger windows. The black registration on the side of the rear fuselage is partially obscured by the wing, and is pretty much unreadable, except for "-AD" in the middle. The plane sits on a patch of pale blue concrete floor, the rest of the floor being grey, with low, blue, metal barriers marking a walkway around this and some of the other exhibits in the bottom left corner. Parts of other exhibits can be seen in the background, but no details. A large, arched roof, with wooden panels forming the sides, dirty glazed panels in the middle, and large windows at the end revealing bright sky, soar over everything else in the frame.
