Side view of a high-winged, twin propellor-engined airliner taxiing from left to right along a taxiway hidden behind some grass. The plane is white, with a pale blue belly, and light and dark blue "FlyBe" titles above a series of 6 coloured dots - 2 yellow, 2 red, and 2 purple. Larger, light and dark blue titles adorn the white tail and rear fuselage, with the black registration "G-ECOC" on a fillet at the front of the tail. There is the light blue text "WWWDotFlyBeDotCom"on the sides of the engine pods, under the wings, the engine pods also have pale blue undersides. A large grassed area fills the foreground, with more grass in the background, leading up to a white and yellow jet airliner, which in on an unseen runway, but appears to be on top of our plane. Rows of trees in the distance meet blue-grey skies.

Side view of a twin engined jet airliner parked facing away from the camera. The plane is largely white, with a deep purple belly and engine pods under the wings, and yellow rear fuselage and tail. There are blue "Olympus" titles on the upper forward fuselage, and the black registration "SX-ACP" on the lower rear. The tail has a blue image of the head of a person with long, flowing hair, wearing a floral crown, and with chains of flowers behind them. Strong sunlight from the upper right corner casts a shadow under the plane towards the bottom left. The plane is parked facing a strip of grass with a mesh metal barrier on the other side, with a large concrete area beyond filling the rest of the frame.

Side view of a single propellor-engined, 2-seat military trainer aircraft parked facing to the left on rather damp, black tarmac, suggesting it has just been raining.. The plane has a grey upper forward fuselage, with a red belly, the red wrapping up and over the top just after the tandem seat cockpit under a large bubble canopy. The rear fuselage is all grey, with a red, white, and pale blue roundel outlined in white, and the serial "312-UU" in black. There is a small, circular, blue and white logo at the base of the tail, which obviously is meant to resemble something, but to me only looks like coloured blobs, below a thick red stripe., and the black number "502" right at the top. The rear fuselage and tail of a darker grey military fighter jet can be seen in the background on the left, with some sort of camouflage structure behind the planes cockpit, and crowds of people on the right, some carrying umbrellas, suggesting that it may still be raining. Grim grey sky fills the rest of the frame.

Forward side view of a military helicopter with a heavily-glazed, bulbous cockpit, parked facing to the left on grass. It is covered in a grey and green camouflage pattern, with a blue and red roundel forward of the black word "Army" on the tailboom. The black serial "ZB666" is at the rear of the tailboom, with the grey letter "G" on the tail, just above the shrouded fan tail rotor. Green grass fills the foreground, with a large, brown brick building with windows on the upper walls covered with grey wooden planks filling the background. A white van with a yellow stripe along the body is on the left of the frame, in front of a grey and black military biplane with it's wings folded backwards.

Side view of a twin engined jet airliner taxiing from left to right along a black taxiway. The plane is largely white, with dark blue "Air France" titles just ahead of a short, diagonal red band on the upper forward fuselage. The black registration "F-HZUR" is on the upper rear fuselage, with the last 2 letters repeated on the front of the open nose-wheel doors. There is additional black text "Airbus A220-300" on the lower rear fuselage. The white tail has a series of diagonal blue bands, thicker by the leading edge and getting thinner as they move rearwards, with a thicker red stripe at the lower rear, as well as a small circle of gold stars of the top of the tails. There is the blue outline of a white circle, containing a stylised image of a winged blue sea-horse, in the middle of the white engine pods, repeated on the side of the forward fuselage, in between the cockpit windows and the forward door. The up-turned wing-tips are entirely dark blue. A black mesh fence topped with razor-wire stretches across the bottom of the frame, with a small group of people on this side of the fence. Grass leads up to the taxiway the plane is on, with more grass and taxiways in the background, with the rear fuselage of a white, red, and black airliner on a runway facing out of the right of the frame in the distance. Rows of trees beyond that meet the cloudy grey sky.

Side view of a twin engined jet airliner taxiing from left to right along a grey expanse of apron. The plane is mostly white, with dark blue "Kuwait" titles on the upper forward fuselage, covering the forward passenger cabin windows, with smaller blue titles in an Arabic script just aft of that, and a small Kuwait flag just behind the cockpit windows. The black registration 9K-APH is on the upper rear fuselage, just above what looks like a 3-tone blue swoosh, but on closer inspection turns out to be the stylised silhouette of a bird, with beak turned upwards towards the front, and wings spreading up and out at the rear. Part of this design, the front of the up-swept wings, is repeated on the bottom of the white engine pods, but with the addition of a dark blue bird logo towards the front, a design element repeated in white on the tail. Grey concrete apron fills the foreground, with a random white airbridge in the bottom left corner, with a strip of green grass between the 2 apron areas. A silver and red jet airliner is parked nose-in to a long, low, grey building in the background, with a taller grey building on the left, and a different building in shades of grey and yellow towering over the lower building. Trees in the distance lead up to grim grey sky.

Rear-side view of a high-winged, single-engined light aircraft parked in a vaulted-roofed metal hangar. The plane is largely white, with red and blue stripes running along the body, overlaid with the black registration "G-CTAB" on the side of the rear fuselage. A red and white sun-burst pattern covers the top of both the wings and the horizontal stabiliser. The tail is white, with 3 blue and 3 red 5-pointed stars forming a rough triangle, the word "Citabria" in an ornate script in the middle, and the small text "North West Aerobatics right at the top. Grey brushed concrete floor fills the foreground and a lot of the background, with blue internal beams supporting metal walls and ceiling. A couple of people, one wearing a yellow hi-viz vest, are facing the far wall at the end. Blooms of green and bloom light are visible in the middle and edges of the frame, caused by shooting through slightly murky glass.

Side view of a 4 engined military jet submarine-hunter aircraft, parked facing to the right on concrete hard-standings in the middle of a field of gravel, on outdoor display in a small museum. The plane is entirely grey, with a large grey probe extending forward from above the cockpit windows, reaching out of the right side of the frame. The engines are buried in pairs in the wing root, with red covers inside the intakes. A blue pod hangs from a pylon under the right wing. Grey gravel fills the foreground, with metal barriers making a walkway up to a grey set of mobile airstairs parked against the planes main door behind the cockpit. Lush grey sky fills the top of the frame.

Side view of a single-engined BizProp taxiing from right to left on a black taxiway. The plane is white on top and towards the front, and black on the bottom and to the rear, separated by a brown stripe that swoops along the fuselage. The brown registration "N5347V" outlined in white and with a gold drop shadow is on the side of the lower rear fuselage. A pair of gold stripes run along the forward fuselage, one above the brown stripe, the other below, with a thin gold band wrapped around the tail-cone and tail. The pilot can be seen through the cockpit window, with black text "Piper" on the side of the upper fuselage just behind him. Green grass lines both sides of the runway at the bottom of the frame, with more grass separating taxiways and a runway in the background, and more grass leading off to trees and bushes in the distance, slowly vanishing into mist.
