Side view of a single engined light aircraft taxing from right to left across a grass airfield. The plane is a silvery grey, with a black and red stripe swirling it's way along the body, and the black registration "G-CGVT" on the lower rear fuselage. There is black text "Mainair Flying School", alongside a telephone number on the rear half of the tail. Metallic grey spats with black and red stripes cover the wheels on the undercarriage. Two people can be seen in the cockpit through the comically oversized bubble canopy. Green grass fills the foreground and most of the background, with trees on the airfield perimeter, rolling hills in the far distance, and blue sky at the top of the frame.
