Side view of a twin engined BizJet flying from left to right at a low altitude with flaps extended behind the wings and the undercarriage lowered, suggesting that the plane is about to land. Coudy grey sky fills the rest of the frame.

Side view of a high-winged single-engined light aircraft parked on a tarmac apron facing to the left. The plane is mostly in a bare metal finish, with a pair of blue stripes running along the body, getting narrower as they move to the rear, overlaid with the blue registration "G-BRGG" on the rear fuselage, which is repeated under the left wing. Another pair of blue stripes adorn the stripes on the spats over the main wheels. Struts support the wings, connected to the body just above the main gear legs. Grey tarmac apron fills the foreground, with a row of orange and white traffic cones separating that from muddy grass on the right of the frame. There are more light aircraft parked on grass in the background, under cloudy grey sky.
