Side view of a 4 engined jet cargo plane taxiing from left to right. The plane is mostly white, with a grey belly, and a pair of black stripes running along the body, overlaid with black "Southern Air Transport" text. The registration "N873SJ" is on the lower rear fuselage, with a stylised, fat, grey letter "S" outlined in black. Green grass fills most of the foreground, with a grey roadway cutting through, next to a low, black brick building on the right of the frame. In the background, a collection of white or grey and blue airliners are parked on the right, with a green, metal, box-like structure towering over everything on the left, with trees and grey sky filling the rest of the frame.

Front view of a high-winged, 4 propellor-engined airliner parked facing slightly off to the left of the camera. The plane is mostly a vivid orange, with thin black stripes running along the body, overlaid with black "British Antarctic Survey" text. There is a cluster of people standing around an information board under the right wing, on the left of the frame, with a slightly smaller plane in a similar livery just beyond that. Cloudy white sky fills the rest of the frame.

Side view of a high-winged, twin propellor-engined airliner taxiing from left to right. The plane is mostly white, with a yellow, orange, and red stripe running along the body before sweeping up in to the tail, with black "NFD" letters overlaid under the cockpit, as well as on the tail. The black registration "D-ANFA" is on the upper rear fuselage. Grey concrete apron fills the foreground, with a strong shadow being cast by this plane, suggesting it is sunny. A collection of airport vehicles are clustered between blue metal fences in the background, with a white, twin engined jet airliner beyond them, with large grassed areas and taxiways beyond that, slowly getting lost in bright haze.

The black registration 9A-CTB is on the upper rear fuselage, next to a small Croation flag. Grey concrete apron fills the foreground, with acres of green grass in the background, with trees vanishing in to haze in the distance.
