Almost head on view of a high-winged, 4 propellor-engined military transport aircraft parked facing slightly to the right of the camera. The plane has a black radome in the nose, under a heavily glaze cockpit, with a grey and olive green camouflage pattern covering the rest of the plane.T The large black number "210" can be seen on either side of the nose, below the lowest of the cockpit windows, and a large blue and red roundel can be made out on the right rear fuselage. On the far side of the plane, a a door can be seen hanging down from just aft of the cockpit, with stairs formed in the inside. The 4 bladed propellors on the engines are all aligned nicely, in the 4 cardinal positions, with red and white bands on the tips. An orange power cable snakes across the black tarmac the plane is parked on from the left, rising up to plug into an open panel in the nose. In the background, crowds of people can be seen behind temporary metal fences,,,, with various stalls and tents behind them, including one festooned with large brown teddy bears. Flat grey sky fills the rest of the frame.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.
