Side view of a twin propellor-engined, bi-plane, pre-World War 2-era airliner taxiing from left to right on a grass airfield. The plane has a white top half with a grey belly, with a green and black stripe running along the body, and green "Caernarfon Air World" titles on the lower forward fuselage. A man can been seen sitting in the highly glazed cockpit, with a woman staring out from one of the curved, angular passenger cabin windows. A brown brick control tower can be seen in the middle of the background, with a couple of parked light aircraft on the left, and a red fire truck on the right, under flat grey sky.

Side view of a red, single-engined biplane taxiing from left to right on a grass airfield. A pair of white lines wrap above and below the engine cowling in the nose, then run towards the rear, getting thinner as they go, overlaid with the white registration "G-HOON" on the lower rear fuselage, just aft of the bubble canopy over the single seat cockpit. The text "Pitts S-1S" is on the top half of the front of the red tail, with a red and white checkerboard pattern on the rear. The checkerboard pattern is repeated on the outer faces of the undersides of the wings. The white propellor at the front is a spinning white blur. Red spats over the main wheels have similar white stripes on the side Green grass fills the rest of the frame.

Low side view of a high-winged, twin propellor-engined airliner flying from left to right at a low altitude, with undercarriage lowered and flaps extended from the rear of the wings, suggesting it is about to land. The plane is almost entirely purple, with an orange and purple band around the rear fuselage, and a white tail-cone and tail. There are white., billboard-style "FlyBe" titles above 6 white dots on the side of the forward fuselage, with similar diagonal titles in light and dark blue on the tail, over 2 orange, 2 red, and 2 purple dots. The white titles are also inverted on the underside of the fuselage. The engine pods mounted out on the wings are also purple, with the main undercarriage hanging down on long, spindly legs from the rear. The black registration "G-JECZ" is on the side of the tail-cone right at the rear. Flat grey clouds fill the rest of the frame.

Side view of a high-winged, twin propellor engined light transport plane parked on grass facing to the right. The plane is mostly white, with a dark blue lower body, sweeping up to fill the rear fuselage and tail. Green grass fills the foreground, with a white, single engined light aircraft just nosing in to frame from the left. There are several buildings in various shades of grey in the background, with a white fuel tank with red "Total" markings on the left of the frame, all under flat white sky.

Side view of a twin engined jet airliner flying from left to right at a low altitude, with undercarriage lowered and flaps extended from the rear of the wings, suggesting it is about to land. The plane is mostly a light blue, with a white belly, and red "TUI" titles on the forward fuselage. The white registration ""G-TAWM" is on the upper rear fuselage next to a small British flag. The tail is a slightly different pale blue, with a red smiley face made up of the letters "T", "U", and "I". This same design appears of the upturned wingtips. The white engine pods under the wings have the black web address "TUI.com". Flat white sky fills the rest of the frame.
