A small, single engined light aircraft parked on black tarmac, facing to the right and away from the camera. The plane is almost entirely white, with only the black registration "G-CIFL" on the side of the rear fuselage, and the large bubble canopy over the cockpit marring the whiteness. Black tarmac apron fills the foreground, with a high-winged light aircraft parked on the other side of a fuel pump in the background. A large road bridge soars into the sky in the distance, stretching across the frame, under grey sky.

Side view of a rather sleek looking, single engined light aircraft parked taxiing from left to right along a grey tarmac taxiway. The plane is almost entirely red, with the black letters "OXI" (part of the registration) visible on the side of the rear fuselage. A large bubble canopy covers the 2 seat cockpit. Long, spindly legs coming from under the wing carry the main wheels, which have streamlined red spats over the wheels. Green grass fills most of the background, with trees stretching along the top of the frame in the distance.

Side view of a white, high-winged, twin propellor-engined light aircraft, parked facing to the left in a brown brick hangar. The plane has a pair of green stripes running along the body, widening as they move rearwards, and a green tail outlined in white. The fixed undercarriage has spats covering the top of the wheels, with the top half painted green, the lower half in white. The registration "G-BFBD" is on the rear fuselage in black. Several light aircraft can be seen parked in the background on the left, behind this plane's nose. Brown brick walls stretch across the background, with grey vertical metal support beams at intervals. Boarded-up windows fill the top of the walls.

Side view of a twin engined jet airliner taxiing from left to right along a grey runway. The plane is primarily dark blue, with large white "Family Life" titles on the forward, with much smaller "Hotels" text below the last 2 letters. A pair of cartoon characters, an orange teddy bear and a yellow dog, are on the rear fuselage, either side of the white registration "G-FDZG". The tail is a light blue, with a red winky face that looks like the letters "T", "U", and "i" squished together. Green grass fills the foreground, with trees stretching across the background, under grey sky.

Side view of a single-engined light aircraft parked facing to the left on yellowing grass, right on the edge of a black tarmac taxiway. The plane is mostly white, with a 2-tone blue stripe running along the body before sweeping up the front of the tail. The registration "G-BPJD" is on the upper rear fuselage, as well as under the left wing. Another couple of planes are parked around it, as well as a couple of wooden buildings on the right. A long bridge reaches over the horizon on the left, with blue-grey sky filling the rest of the frame.

Side view of a small, red, 2-seat autogyro taxiing from right to left along a grey tarmac taxiway. The aircraft is red, with a tandem 2 seat cockpit behind a large perspex panel, with a rotor mast with a 2-bladed rotor on top coming out of the top of the fuselage behind the rear seat. A triple tail unit is on a long boom coming from the lower rear of the fuselage, with the silver registration "G-CFZX" on the sides of the larger, central tail. Both of the seats are filled, with 2 people wearing red jumpsuits and white helmets, with black straps holding them in place. A silver car with black trim is in the background immediately behind this aircraft, with a white box on wheels on the left, a yellow square with the black letter "C" in the top left corner. Trees behind a black fence fill the rest of the frame.

Side view of a high-winged, twin propellor-engined purple airliner flying from left to right at a very low altitude, with undercarriage extended and flaps deployed from the rear of the wings, suggesting it is about to land. The plane is mostly a lush purple, with a yellow and red band around the rear fuselage, and a whitetail and tail-cone. There are large white "FlyBe" titles over 6 white dots on the forward fuselage, a design replicated diagonally on the tail, only this time the text is in 2 shades of blue, and with 2 yellow dots, 2 red dots, and 2 purple. There are white "Stobart Air" titles under the forward fuselage, just over the nose-wheel doors, repeated over the rear passenger cabin windows, and the registration "EI-REM" just under those windows, also in white.

Side view of a twin engined BizJet with the engines mounted on the sides of the rear fuselage, taxiing from right to left along a grey taxiway. The plane is largely white, with a green stripe starting in the middle of the upper fuselage, running forward along the top of the body, down under the cockpit windows, then back along the lower body, and up into the tail, and the green registration "D-AJOY" on the tail-cone, partially obscured by one of the engines on the rear fuselage. A grey taxiway fills the foreground, with a patch of green grass in the bottom right corner, and more grass in the background, leading up to several jet airliners partially obscured by jelly pouring out of the rear of the planes engines. Flat grey sky fills the rest of the frame.

Close-up of the up-turned wingtip, wing, and centre-fuselage of a twin engined jet airliner parked facing to the left on its gate, taken from near-enough under the wing, obviously on the apron. The plane is mostly white, with a dark blue belly, and a thin yellow stripe separating the 2 colours. There are dark blue "RyanAir" titles next to a dark blue winged Irish harp on the side of the forward fuselage, the last few letters obscured by the wing. The wing itself is white, with the black registration "EI-DLI" on the underside. The winglet on the end is dark blue, with diagonal yellow "RyanAir" titles. Dramatic grey sky, with ominous fluffs of grey among bright white clouds fill the rest of the frame.
