Side view of a white, twin engined jet airliner flying from right to left at a low altitude with it's undercarriage lowered and flaps extended from the rear of the wings, suggesting it is about to land. There is a large, stylised birds head in shades of black and blue on the forward fuselage, black "EgyptAir" titles on the fuselage over the wings, and swirly black and blue stripes on the tail. Flat white sky fills the rest 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.

This would have been really exotic if it hadn't also been there the year before!
