Side View of a single engined, single seat bi-plane light aircraft flying from right to left at a very low latitude, less than a metre above a grass runway. The plane is mostly red, with a pair of white stripes running along the body, overlaid with the white registration "G-HOON", with similar white stripes running the length of the spats on the main wheels, under the wings. The front of the tail is red, with white "Pitts S-1S"text, while the rear is covered in a red and white checkerboard pattern, which can also be seen on the outer panels of the under side of the wings. A person wearing a white flying helmet can be seen in the single seat cockpit, under a domed canopy. Grrn grass fills the rest of the frame, with the plane casting a strong shadow on the ground behind it, suggesting that the sun is coming from the top left corner.

Low front view of a 3 engined jet airliner parked facing to the right on gravel. The plane is white on top, with a grey lower half, and a thick stripe that used to be dark blue but is now faded to dark green running along the body, covering the passenger cabin windows. There are red and white letters "BEA" on the upper forward fuselage, and a partial UK flag on the now-green tail. The underside of the wings is red. A long yellow pushback pole is attached to the nosewheel. White airstairs are attached to the front and rear cabin doors on the far side of the plane. Trees fill the background on the left of the frame, with a rather square and boxy green metal frame taking up most of the rest of the background, and the grey tail of another plane on the right, all under gorgeous blue sky.

Green trees line the background, under blue-grey skies.
