Side view of a white, twin engined jet airliner with the engines mounted on the sides of the rear fuselage, taxiing from left to right. The plane has a red and purple stripe running along the body just below the passenger cabin windows, with yellow piping down the middle. There are black "Meridiana" titles on the upper forward fuselage, next to a red and white circular logo. The tail is mostly red, with a purple stripe and yellow piping at the bottom, with the circular logo repeated, only this time with the colours inverted. The registration "I-SMES" is on the tail-cone, behind the engines, next to an Italian flag. The engines have small, black "MD-82" titles. Grey concrete apron fills the foreground, and a good chunk of the background, with a sandy-brown terminal building just edging it's way in to shot on the right. A white, high-winged, twin propellor-engined airliner with yellow stripes on the tail is parked behind a brown prefabricated hut and a couple of sets of mobile airstairs in the background. Some light aircraft are parked on grass in the distance on the left, with more grass and trees beyond that leading off to the skyline, under hazy grey sky.

Side view of a white, twin engined BizProp taxiing from right to left. The plane has a red and blue stripe running along the body, and short, red and blue diagonal bars on the engine cowlings, the latter of which sweeps back to go over and under the wings. The registration "G-KYIN" is on the tail in blue. Green grass lines both sides of the taxiway the plane is on, with a large brown and grey hangar with the doors wide open in the background. Black boards over the hangar doors have the words "Yorkshire Light Aircraft" in large white letters. Grey sky fills the rest of the frame.
