Side view of a high-winged, twin propellor-engined airliner taxiing from right to left.

Side view of a twin engined jet airliner in a "Polar bear in a blizzard" livery, parked facing to the left. The only markings are a large red letter "A" next to the open forward mid-cabin door, and the black registration "V2-LDX" on the lower rear fuselage, jut forward of the rear cabin door. There is a set of blue mobile air stairs next to the open cabin door. A grey taxiway stretches across the frame, with a strip of grass separating that from the apron area this plane is parked on. A couple of other planes are visible in the background - a small white and blue plane under the tail on the right of the frame, and a grey and dark blue one on the left, both facing to the right. Trees in the distance slowly vanish into bright but hazy sky.

'Throw Thursday 17th July 2025.

Side view of a twin engined jet airliner flying from right to left, with undercarriage lowered, and flaps hanging from the rear of the wings, suggesting it is about to land. The plane is mostly white, with a green stripe on the nose, under the cockpit windows, turning pale blue and extending all the way along the body. There are green "Cathay Pacific" titles on the blue stripe on the forward fuselage. There is a thick green stripe on the tail, overlaid with a stylised white bird in flight, seemingly created with a single brush stroke, a logo that also appears on the green stripe on the nose. The engines under the wings are the same pale blue, with a white band around the middle. Flat grey sky fills the rest of the frame.
