On This Day 24th April 1994.

Low side view of a white helicopter flying from left to right at a very low altitude. The helicopter is all white, with the registration "G-RAMM" on the side of the engine cowling, repeated under the belly between the landing skids. There are smaller, red, "Hughes 500C" text on the side of the rear fuselage, under the tail boom. A pair of doors on the side of the fuselage have large windows, with people vaguely visible inside. Grey sky fills the background.

Side view of a white, 4 engined jet airliner taxiing from right to left. There is a yellow, orange, and red strip coming down from over the top of the forward fuselage and running backwards along the body, with white "Iberia" titles over the wings. There are a pair of large letters on the tail - a red, lower-case "I" with a gold crown on the dot, and a yellow upper-case "B", with the registration "EC-GUP" at the top of the tail in black. The white engine pods under the wings have small, red, "Iberia" titles in the middle. Grey concrete apron fills the foreground, with yellowing grass and a runway lead up to more apron and buildings in the distance, with trees beyond, under grey sky.
