Side view of a very large, 4 engined jet airliner moving from right to left along a runway with the rear panel of one of the engines slid back, exposing the thrust reversers, suggesting it has just landed. The plane is mostly white, with large gold "Emirates" titles in English on the upper forward fuselage, between the 2 rows of passenger windows, and smaller titles in an Arabic script a bit further back, over the wings. A waving United Arab Emirates flag (red vertical bar on the left, with equal green, white, and black stripes on the right) covers the tail and part of the rear fuselage. Golden calligraphic art made up of the characters that make up the airlines Arabic name adorns the engine pods, the cowling of the inner engines split as the rear portion has moved backwards to expose the thrust reversers. Another runway stretches across the foreground, lined by green grass, while a pair of large grey hangars dominate the background, under pale blue-grey sky.

A white, twin engined jet airliner flying over head from left to right at a very low altitude. It has it's undercarriage lowered, and flaps extended from the rear of the wings, suggesting it is about to land. There are red and orange "Jet2 Holidays" titles on the lower forward fuselage, and a red and orange sunburst on the blue tail and rear fuselage, as well as on the sides of the engine pods under the wings. Blue sky with fluffs of white cloud fill the background.

Side view of a twin propellor-engined airliner flying from left to right at low angle with the undercarriage retracted and only a small amount of flaps from the rear of the wings, suggesting it is doing a flypast as part of a display routine. The plane is mostly white, with black "EuroDirect" titles on the upper forward fuselage, and an enormous, black, lower-case letter "e" , tilted slightly on it's side, on the rear fuselage. The tail is yellow, with a large, black, lower=case letter "e" in the middle. Grey sky fills the background.

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 single engined light aircraft taxing from right to left across a grass airfield. The plane is a silvery grey, with a black and red stripe swirling it's way along the body, and the black registration "G-CGVT" on the lower rear fuselage. There is black text "Mainair Flying School", alongside a telephone number on the rear half of the tail. Metallic grey spats with black and red stripes cover the wheels on the undercarriage. Two people can be seen in the cockpit through the comically oversized bubble canopy. Green grass fills the foreground and most of the background, with trees on the airfield perimeter, rolling hills in the far distance, and blue sky at the top of the frame.

Front side view of a bright red, high-winged, twin propellor-engined parked facing to the left and slightly towards the camera. The plane's roof and the tops of the wings and engines are a shiny black, and black "British Antarctic Survey" are on the lower forward fuselage under the passenger cabin windows. A door in the rear fuselage is hanging open. Metal skids are mounted on the undercarriage, the wheels poking through the bottom. There is a white board on a wooden easel which has indecipherable text about this plane which partially obscures the nose on the left of the frame. Crowds of people behind a low metal fence are visible in the background, under flat white skies.

Side view of a high-winged, single-engined light aircraft flying from right to left at a very low altitude, just a couple of metres above the white numbers on a grass runway. The plane is mostly white, with a light and dark blue stripe running along the body and up into the lower parts of the tail, overlaid with dark blue registration "G-BPVA" on the rear fuselage. The plane has flaps extended from the rear of the wings, and is flying more or less straight and level, suggesting it is just about to land. Green grass fills the foreground, with trees filling the background.

Side view of a green, high-winged, twin propellor-engined airliner flying from left to right at a low altitude, with flaps extended from the rear of the wings, undercarriage retracting, and the nose raised sharply, suggesting it has just taken off. The planes top half is a dark green, with a lighter green stripe over the passenger cabin windows, and a white belly. There are white "Aer Lingus" titles on the upper forward fuselage, and green "Regional" titles at the bottom. The black registration "EI-FAS" is on the lower rear fuselage, next to a small Irish flag. There is a large, light green shamrock leaf on the tail. Pale blue sky with streaks of white cloud fill the rest of the frame.

Side view of a white military transport helicopter parked facing to the left on a black tarmac taxiway. The helicopter has a blue stripe running along the body and tail boom, with a zig-zag down to below the cockpit windows. Sponsons on the rear fuselage house the main landing gear. A large panel that normally covers the engine has been dropped down, exposing the inner workings. A large sign has been placed against the nose, giving some detail about the aircraft. In the background, crowds of people are visible behind waist-level metal fences, with some tents and other exhibits behind them. Dismal grey skies fill the rest of the frame.
