Side view of a twin engined jet airliner moving from right to left along a black runway, with flaps extended from under the rear of the wings, spoilers deployed on top of the rear of the wing, and the rear section of the engine pods under the wings slid back, revealing the thrust reversers, suggesting this is decelerating hard after landing. The plane is mostly with, with a blue swirl around the lower forward fuselage, and another around the upper mid- and rear fuselage, with black "Tailwind" titles on the upper forward fuselage, next to a highly stylised image of a dark and light blue flying bird with wings stretched upwards. This bird logo is repeated in a larger form on the white tail, and in a smaller form on the sides of the white engine pods under the wings. Green grass fills the foreground, with more grass in the background leading up to trees in the distance, with cloudy grey sky with hints of blue filling the rest of the frame.

Side view of a white, twin propellor-engined flying from left to right at a low altitude, it's wings banked to the left, with flaps lowered slightly behind the wings, and it's undercarriage stowed away. A bright light is shining forwards about halfway along each wing. The fuselage is mostly white, with a thin blue, red, and orange stripe running along the body from the nose, gradually getting wider as it moves rearwards, until the blue sweeps up to fill the tail. The number "227" is on the lower forward fuselage in large black print, with the much smaller registration "G-JATP" on the lower rear fuselage. Grey cloudy sky fills the rest of the frame.

Side view of a grey, twin-engined, bi-plane airliner on display facing to the left inside a museum. The plane the black name "Pioneer" in an italic script on the nose, under the cockpit windows, and the black text "Allied Airways" over smaller text "(Gander Dower) Ltd" under the forward passenger windows. The black registration on the side of the rear fuselage is partially obscured by the wing, and is pretty much unreadable, except for "-AD" in the middle. The plane sits on a patch of pale blue concrete floor, the rest of the floor being grey, with low, blue, metal barriers marking a walkway around this and some of the other exhibits in the bottom left corner. Parts of other exhibits can be seen in the background, but no details. A large, arched roof, with wooden panels forming the sides, dirty glazed panels in the middle, and large windows at the end revealing bright sky, soar over everything else in the frame.

Side view of a helicopter hovering a couple of metres above a dark grey taxiway, facing to the right. The helicopter is black, with a silver and orange stripe swooping across the forward fuselage and along the tail boom. The silver registration "G-DCAM" is on the side of the engine pod on top of the fuselage. The main and tail rotors are spinning, and exhaust from the rear of the engine is creating jellied air behind it. Black taxiway fills most of the foreground, with grass on the left. A heavily glazed grey terminal building fills most of the background, under bright but hazy sky.

Side view of a twin propellor-engined airliner taxiing from left to right along a black runway lined with grass on both sides. The plane is largely white, with a blue belly, and light and dark blue "FlyBe" titles on the forward fuselage, over two yellow, two red, and two purple dots. Larger light and dark blue "FlyBe" titles fill the white tail and rear fuselage, with light blue "WWWDotFlyBeDotCom" web address on the sides of the engine pods above the wings. The black registration "G-LGNO" is on the upper rear fuselage. Green grass fills the foreground, with more grass in the background leading up to another black runway in the distance, with trees beyond that, under blue-grey sky.

Side view of a twin engined jet airliner moving from left to right along a runway, with thrust reversers deployed in the sides of the engines, suggesting it is rapidly slowing down after landing. The plane is mostly white, with green-blue "Orbest" titles on the forward fuselage, covering some of the passenger cabin windows. The engine pods under the wings have an abstract, geometric pattern in shades of blue and purple. The rear fuselage and tail is mostly white, with wavy purple, green-blue, and lilac sections. The black registration "CS-TRM" is on the upper rear fuselage, next to a small Portugese flag. Green grass fills the foreground, with more grass in the background leads up to trees on the airfield perimeter in the distance, under bright but hazy sky.

Side view of a twin engined jet airliner taxiing from right to left along a grey taxiway lined with green gr4ass. The plane is mostly white, large, dark grey "Thomas Cook" titles on the upper forward fuselage, partially covering the passenger cabin windows, , with small, grey "Airbus A320" text on the lower forward fuselage, and the grey registration "G-TCAE" next to a small UK flag on the lower rear. A diagonal yellow band wraps around the rear fuselage, next to a light grey band, which is next to a dark grey band which wraps around the tail and the end of the rear fuselage. A large yellow love-heart fills the middle of the tail, with bright yellow matching engine pods mounted under the wings. Grass lines both sides of the taxiway, as well as another taxiway and a runway in the background. Grey sky fills most of the rest of the frame, with a bright spot on the upper middle.

Side view of a twin engined jet airliner taxiing from left to right along a black taxiway. The plane is mostly white, with grey, lowercase "vueling" and yellow "com" titles on the upper forward fuselage. The tail and rear fuselage start off with small grey dots towards the front, the dots gradually getting larger and merging into a solid wall of grey, with a single yellow dot up towards the top. Green grass lines the sides of a pair of black taxiways in the foreground, and more in the background separates the plane from a black runway, with trees in the distance meeting grey sky.
