On This Day 5th September 2013.

Side view of a bright orange, twin engined jet airliner flying from left to right at a low altitude, with undercarriage still lowered, flaps slightly extended from the rear of the wings, and the nose raised sharply, suggesting it has just taken off. There are large, white "EasyJet.com" titles written across the fuselage, with smaller "EasyJet" titles on the engine pods under the wings, as well as diagonally on the tail. There is a large white number "200" on the forward fuselage just under the cockpit windows, and the black registration "G-EZUI" on the lower rear fuselage. Pale blue sky with white patches of cloud fill the rest of the frame.

Side view of a high-winged, single-engined light aircraft parked on static display on top of the roof of an airport, facing to the right. The plane is mostly bright red, which is fading to pink, with a thick lime green stripe running backwards from the propellor in the nose to the tail, outlined in white. The black registration "D-EHFO" is on the rear fuselage. A white picket fence runs across the foreground, separating the plane from the public, While a tall information board stands next to the nose, with line drawings of the plane and several paragraphs of text giving information about it. The right win and corrugated metal fuselage of a larger plane can be seen in the background on the right, while an orange pre-fabricated structure is in the background on the left. Flat white sky fills the rest of the frame.

Close-up detail of a white jet airliner parked facing to the left showing the area around the open forward cabin door. A red set of mobile airstairs with white "Jet2.com" above "Friendly Lower Fares" titles has been positioned by the open door, a yellow bumper leaning against the side of the fuselage just below the door. Large, red "Jet2" titles are on the side of the plane just below the door, but are largely obscured by the airstairs. Between the door and the cockpit windows, there is a dashed red line with the word "Airbridge" arranged vertically on the left.

Rear side view of a 4 propellor-engined airliner parked facing to the right and slightly away from the camera. The plane is largely white, with a thick pale blue stripe running along the cabin covering the windows, a thick black stripe below that, and a grey belly. The engines and tail have been removed, as well as part of the wings and some of the cabin windows. A British flag is on the nose, just below the cockpit windows. In the foreground, long green and yellowy-brown grass leads up to a black chain-link fence on concrete supports, at the top of a slight rise. In the background, grey buildings with red roofs stretch across the frame from the left, under blue-grey skies.
