Side view of a dark blue and white, single engined light aircraft parked facing to the left. The upper surfaces are dark blue with red piping, while the lower body is white, with a thick red stripe running along the body separating the 2 colours. The white spats on the fixed undercarriage wheels are white, with a thick red stripe. There are blue and red letters "SK" on the lower forward fuselage, and outlined in white on the tail. The registration "G-BKCR" is on the rear fuselage in black, Grey concrete apron fills the foreground, and runs up to trees in the distance that stretch all the way across the frame. Dismal grey skies complete the image.

Side view of a white, twin propellor-engined flying from left to right at a low altitude, it's wings banked to the left, with flaps lowered slightly behind the wings, and it's undercarriage stowed away. A bright light is shining forwards about halfway along each wing. The fuselage is mostly white, with a thin blue, red, and orange stripe running along the body from the nose, gradually getting wider as it moves rearwards, until the blue sweeps up to fill the tail. The number "227" is on the lower forward fuselage in large black print, with the much smaller registration "G-JATP" on the lower rear fuselage. Grey cloudy sky fills the rest of the frame.
