View from below of 6 single engined fighter jets flying in close formation from right to left at a low altitude.

6 Hawker HunterF.58's of the Swiss Air Force, part of the Patrouille Suisse display team, performing a display routine at the annual Woodford Air Show, some time in the 1990s.

The Patrouille Suisse were regular visitors to this show, right up until the final one.

Side view of a white twin engined jet airliner moving from right to left at high speed along a black runway. The plane is mostly white, with a pale blue belly, and dark blue "Condor" titles on the forward fuselage. The tail is dark blue, dipping down slightly to covr part of the rear fuselage, with a lighter blue section through the middle, containing an orange and yellow love heart logo. There are additional blue "Thomas Cook" titles on the upper rear fuselage, just ahead of the tail. The engine pods are the same dark blue, as are the up-turned wingtips, which have the outline of a yellow circle containing a stylised yellow flying bird. Green grass fills the foreground, with more grass in the background leading up to a pair of grey hangars in the distance, under hazy grey sky.

Green grass fills the rest of the frame.
