Side view of a twin engined jet airliner facing to the right but being pushed back to the left by an almost-out-of-frame low-slung red truck attached to the nose-wheel by a long red pole. The plane is largely white, with red "Jet2Holidays" titles on the lower forward fuselage, the word "Holidays" having a yellow to red vertical gradient. There is orange text "Package holidays you can trust" on the upper fuselage, over the wings, and the black registration "G-HLYF" on the side of the upper rear fuselage. A diagonal blue band wraps around the rear fuselage and tail, with a red, orange, and yellow sunburst design filling much of that blue space. The engine pods mounted under the wings are the same blue as the rear fuselage, with a smaller version of the text "Jet2Holidays" logo from the lower forward fuselage. Grey concrete apron fills the foreground, with a black terminal building filling the background, a grey jet airliner with a red tail behind this plane on the left. Several tall lighting poles reach into the grim grey sky.

Side view of a twin engined BizJet flying from left too right at a very low altitude, with undercarriage lowered and flaps extended from the rear of the wings, suggesting it is about to land. The plane is an overall cream colour, with only the white registration "N7i00GF on the sides of the jet engines mounted on the sides of the rear fuselage creating any contrast. Cars sparked in the long-term car park below it are reflected in the underside of the planes left wing. In the background, hazy clouds at the bottom of the frame give way to blue sky with wisps of cloud at the top.

Side view of a single-engined bi-plane taxiing across a grass field from left to right. The plane is mostly white, with blue, purple, red, orange, and yellow stripes on the body, resembling the body of an eagle, with the wings covered with similar coloured stripes resembling eagle wings. 2 people can be seen sitting in the tandem-seated cockpit, under a large bubble canopy. Short green grass fills the foreground, with longer green grass in the background, leading up to trees in the distance.

Side view of a twin engined jet airliner moving rapidly from left to right on a slightly damp runway. The plane is mostly white, with a dark blue belly, dark blue "British Airways" titles on the forward fuselage below the forward cabin windows, below the forward and mid-cabin doors, and a twisted blue and red ribbon on the upper forward fuselage, just aft of the cockpit. There are 3 wavy lines (red, blue, red) on the tail. The rear half of the blue engine pods mounted under the wings has slid back, exposing the engine thrust reversers. The spray from the nose and main wheel suggests this plane is moving pretty fast, while the flaps extended from the rear of the wings and the open thrust reversers suggest this plane has just landed. Strips of green grass line the runway and a taxiway in the foreground, while trees are visible over the top of this plane in the background. The blue tail and blue and white fuselage of another plane can be seen in the background on the right. Dreary grey skies fill the rest of the frame.

Front side view of a brown, twin engined jet airliner taxiing from right to left and slightly to the left of the camera along a grey taxiway. There is large, black text "I Heart Cook s Club" on the side of the forward fuselage, the word "Heart" being replaced by a large yellow love heart symbol, covering the passenger cabin windows, with smaller text "New Generation Hotels" below. This latter text is repeated on the upper rear fuselage, with the black registration "G-TCDV" next to a small UK flag on the lower rear. A diagonal yellow band wraps around the rear fuselage, immediately followed by a diagonal grey band that wraps around the rear fuselage and tail, with another, much larger, yellow love heart filling the tail. The engine pods, hanging under the wings, are the same bright yellow. Grey concrete taxiway fills the foreground, with a white jet airliner with large blue text that partially reads "YanAIr"" on the forward fuselage, just coming into the background on the right. Blue-grey sky fills the rest of the frame.

Side view of a twin engined jet airliner parked facing away from the camera. The plane is largely white, with a deep purple belly and engine pods under the wings, and yellow rear fuselage and tail. There are blue "Olympus" titles on the upper forward fuselage, and the black registration "SX-ACP" on the lower rear. The tail has a blue image of the head of a person with long, flowing hair, wearing a floral crown, and with chains of flowers behind them. Strong sunlight from the upper right corner casts a shadow under the plane towards the bottom left. The plane is parked facing a strip of grass with a mesh metal barrier on the other side, with a large concrete area beyond filling the rest of the frame.
