Close-up of the rear fuselage and tails of a pair of very large, white, 4 engined jet airliners parked facing to the right. The planes are both mostly white, with red tails with white "Virgin" titles, and red engine pods. The further plane has the red registration "G-VGIN" on the lower rear fuselage. Baggage trucks, coaches, and other airport vehicles are scattered around the apron around them. A grey terminal building stretches across the background, with grey and dark blue airliners parked in front. Trees slowly vanish into haze in the distance, under grim grey skies.

G-VGIN, Boeing 747-243B, and G-VOYG, Boeing 747-283B, both Virgin Atlantic, at London Gatwick, some time in the 1990s.
