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 twin engined jet airliner taxiing from left to right, crossing over a roadway marked on the surrounding grey apron area. The plane is almost entirely white, with black "Virgin Atlantic" titles on the upper forward fuselage, with the black registration "G-VEVE" on the side of the lower rear fuselage, almost hidden by the plane's wing. There is additional black text "Airbus A350-1000" on the lower forward fuselage, and an image of a flying woman wearing a red mini-dress and trailing a waving UK flag from her right wrist, below the cockpit windows. The tail is a bright red, wrapping around part of the rear fuselage, with white, seemingly hand-written "Virgin" titles across the middle, with the last 2 letters of the registration, "VE", at the top in white. The engine pods under the wings and the upturned wing-tips are the same bright red, with white "Virgin" titles on the inner faces of the wing-tips. A white airport bus is following a cargo loader along the roadway marked on the apron in the foreground, with another cargo loader and a baggage truck parked on the right of the roadway, with grey apron filling the rest of the foreground. More grey apron fills most of the background, with a black and grey terminal building stretching into frame from the right in the distance, with a pair of jet airliners parked nose-in to it. Another twin-engined airliner is being towed towards the camera, parallel and to the left of the marked roadway, with yet another airliner parked, facing to the left, on the left of the frame, it's nose and forward fuselage out of frame. A veritable forest of tall lighting poles fill a great deal of the apron in the distance, with trees running from one side of the image to the other beyond that, under grey sky.

Side view of a two-seat, open-cockpit auto-gyro parked facing to the right on a concrete pad surrounded by grass. The plane's body is mostly blue, with a white belly, with blue covers over the rear tricycle wheels, and a metal frame extending backwards from under the rear-mounted engine, holding the blue tai, as well as the blue horizontal stabiliser, with blue, vertical end plates on the ends of the stabiliser. The white registration "G-YROA" is on the tail. Another metal frame rises up from behind the rear cockpit, holding the main rotor. A red sleeve covers the end of the main rotor above the front of the plane, attached to the nose by a long red cord. Green grass fills the foreground and most of the background, with a couple of white vans on the grass in the distance, and trees beyond that, meeting gorgeous blue sky at the top of the frame.

Side view of a single-engined light aircraft parked facing to the left on grass. The plane is mostly white, with a grey band wrapped around the lower rear fuselage, and a thin red pinstripe running along the middle of the body. The white registration "G-SGSE" is on the side of the lower rear fuselage, under the small black text "Archer II" and a block of text in a flowing Arabic script, which has a small Palestinian flag overlaid with the words "Free Palestine" through the middle next to it. A red stripe and a pair of grey stripes run through the middle of the spats on the tri-cycle under-carriage. Green grass fills the foreground, with several more light aircraft parked on more grass in the background. Trees line the airfield perimeter, meeting blue sky with patches of fluffy cloud.

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.

Head-on view of a twin engined jet airliner taxiing along a black taxiway, facing directly towards the camera, but turning to it's right, following a yellow line marked on the taxiway.

A light mounted on the side of the nose-wheel leg shines brightly down the camera lens. Black taxiway fills the foreground, with green grass in the background leading up to a black and grey runway, with more grass on the far side leading up to trees in the distance, under grim grey sky.
