Rear side view of a yellow and red glider parked on grass facing to the right and slightly away from the camera, it's right wing resting on the grass. The glider's top half is yellow, with red lower sections, as well as the rear half of the tail, and spoilers on top of the wings. Grass fills most of the frame, with trees lining the airfield perimeter, under grey-blue skies.

Side view of a white, twin engined jet airliner facing to the right but being pushed back to the left by a white tug. The plane has large, orange, billboard-style "EasyJet[dot]com" titles on the fuselage, with similar white titles on the orange engine pods, and diagonal white titles on the orange tail. The orange letters "AA" are above the centre of the cockpit windows. A man wearing a hi-viz jacket and hi-viz ear protectors is standing next to the tug, in front on one of the planes engines. A yellow metal fence stretches across the background, with an array of airport vehicles behind it, and a large duck-egg blue structure looming over everything at the rear.
