Side view of a white, 4 engined jet airliner with the engines mounted in pairs on the sides of the rear fuselage, taxiing from left to right. The plane has white top surfaces, and grey lower surfaces, with a blue stripe running along the body, covering the passenger cabin windows. The engine pods are grey, with the serial "XV102" in black. There is a red, white, and blue roundel on the lower forward fuselage, and a blue, white, and red fin flash on the tail, under the number "102". There are black "Royal Air Force" titles on the upper forward fuselage. The plane is carrying a pair of air-to-air refuelling pods, one under each wing, allowing it to dispense fuel to allied aircraft. Grey concrete apron fills the foreground, with a collection of brown buildings nestled in trees in the background, under dreary grey skies.

Side view of a white, high-winged, twin propellor-engined airliner taxiing from right to left. The plane is almost entirely white, with the registration "EI-FMK" next to an Irish flag on the upper rear fuselage. There are small "Stobart" titles on the forward door. The propellors on the engines are smeared into spinning black and yellow blurs. A large grey and blue hangar dominates the background on the left, under grey-blue sky.
