Front view of a single-engined bi-plane taxiing from left to right along a black asphalt taxiway, it's propellor in the nose little more than a spinning black blur. The plane is mostly yellow, with a wide black stripe outlined in red , running along the body, overlaid with the red registration "G-OKAY" on the side of the rear fuselage. A thinner black stripe with thicker red outline is on the spats over the main wheels on the front of the body. The pilot can be seen through the large bubble canopy. Green grass fills most of the background, with several light aircraft parked on the left, with trees beyond, under grey-blue sky.

Side view of a twin engined jet airliner flying from left to right at a low altitude, with flaps extended from the rear of the wings, undercarriage being retracted, and the nose raised sharply, suggesting it has just taken off. The plane is mostly white, with a dark blue belly, and dark blue "British Airways" titles on the lower forward fuselage. There is a dark blue and red twisted ribbon on the upper forward fuselage, and the dark blue registration "G-EUUM" on the lower rear fuselage. The tail is white, with diagonal, waving red stripes either side of a waving blue triangle in the middle. Pale blue sky with wisps of white cloud fills the background.

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.

Rear view of a single-engined bi-plane light aircraft parked facing slightly to the right of the camera. The plane is largely white, with black, blue, purple, red, orange, and yellow stripes along the body forming a stylised image of the body of an eagle, with similarly coloured stripes on the top and bottom surfaces of the wings and horizontal stabiliser suggesting wing feathers. There is small black text "Christen Eagle" on the upper rear fuselage, just aft of the large bubble canopy, and the black registration "G-GULZ" on the tail. Three men can be seen standing on the far side of the plane, between the cockpit and engine, with one of them seeming to show the other two something. Grey asphalt apron fills the foreground, with a large black hangar in the background, it's large door open on the right revealing some of the planes stored inside.

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 single engined light aircraft parked facing to the right in the middle of a grass airfield. The plane is in a metallic grey paint job, with twisted red and yellow ribbons running along the body, along with rows of silvery oblongs, and up into the tail. The silver registration "ZS-SUB" is on the side of the lower rear fuselage. Metallic grey spats with more twisted yellow and red ribbons cover the wheels on the undercarriage. The cockpit doors on either side are open, hinged upwards and forwards, giving access to the 4 seat cabin. Green grass fills the foreground, with more light aircraft parked, mostly facing to the right, in the background. Trees in the distance mark the airfield perimeter, with pylons holding powerlines marching across the frame beyond, under blue skies.

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.
