Vertically oriented close-up of the twin red V-Tails on the end of the fuselage of a red aircraft. The white registration "G-FUGA", is under the tail above a circular rubber bumper. In the foreground, red and white striped tape stretches across the frame, separating the camera from the plane, above grey tarmac. The cockpits of a pair of white and dark blue planes can be seen in the background, with a large grey hangar beyond that, under bright but hazy sky.Side view of a twin engined military jet trainer aircraft parked facing to the right on a black tarmac taxiway. The plane is mostly in a bare metal finish, with orange panels wrapped around the nose except right at the top, a segmented red stripe on both the inner and outer faces of the V-tail, and a red, white, and blue roundel on the sides of the rear of the engine cowling, behind the wing and seemingly part of the fuselage. The rather faded, very small serial "529" is on the side of the tail-cone under the V-tail, repeated in black on the day-glo orange nose, with the larger partial code "-AX" visible under the tandem cockpits, which both have part of the canopy tilted upwards for crew to enter or exit. The rest of the code is obscured by the large wingtip fuel tanks, which have a glass portion at the front for a light. The plane's general finish isn't quite as clean as it could be, and at first glance appears rather scruffy, with bits of paint seemingly faded or otherwise missing, but, oddly, on further inspection, everything seems to be there Black tarmac taxiway fills the foreground, with the tails of a pair of much larger jet fighters visible on the right, and a grey office building with occasional red brick walls stretching across the frame from the left. Crowds of people and vendor tents occupy the space between the plane and the building. Flat grey sky completes the image.
