Side view of a large, single-engined bi-plane rolling along a grass runway with it's tail-wheel raised into a flying position. The plane is mostly white, with the upper forward fuselage and engine cowling painted black, and a blue, white, and red roundel outlined in yellow under the rear cockpit in the middle fuselage. There are small "Royal Navy" titles on the rear fuselage, above the serial "LS326". There is a red and blue fin flash on the tail. There are 3 people visible in the 2 open cockpits on top of the plane, all bundled up in thick leather, fur-lined flying jackets and leather flying jackets - the pilot in the front cockpit, facing forward and concentrating on flying, as he should do, and 2 crew in the rear who are waving at the crowd. Short green grass fills the foreground, with trees lining the airfield perimeter in the background, under cloudy grey skies.

Side view of a high-winged, twin propellor-engined airliner flying from left to right at a very low altitude, with undercarriage lowered, flaps extended from the rear of the wings, suggesting it is about to land. The plane is a dull green on the top half, with a brighter green stripe running along the body covering the passenger cabin windows, with a thinner blue stripe below that, and a white lower half. There are white "Aer Lingus" titles on the upper forward fuselage, with dark green "Regional" titles on the lower forward fuselage. The black registration "EI-FCY" is on the lower rear fuselage, just aft of a small Irish flag. Grey-blue sky fills the rest of the image.

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.
