Front side view of a twin engined jet airliner parked facing to the right, nose-in to it's gate, as seen from inside the terminal building. The plane is largely white, with large, red, apparently hand written "Leisure" titles on the forward fuselage and a thick blue strip running along the body under a thin red pinstripe. The black registration "G-UKLJ" is on the upper rear fuselage, with the last two letters, LJ, repeated on the open nose-gear doors. The tail is white, with half of a waving UK flag in the middle. The bed of a white and pink catering truck is raised to the open rear door of the plane, with a low, white, baggage belt by an open cargo door in the belly just behind the wings, and another cargo door open in front of the wings. In the background, on the right, a brown and cream terminal building stretches across the frame from the right, with a couple of planes parked in front, with pale blue sky filling the rest of the frame.

Side view of a helicopter flying from right to left at a very low altitude, about 5 metres above the ground. It is white upper surfaces on the front of the body, with light blue "National Grid" titles on the side of the engine bay on top of the fuselage. The bottom is sky blue, sweeping up towards the rear of the fuselage, and filling the tail boom, with diagonal lime green and red stripes on the rear fuselage, and the white registration "G-RIDB" on the side of the tail boom. Green grass fills the bottom of the frame, with a row of bushes across the middle with a wooden gate with a red and white striped top bar in the centre.

Side view of a white, twin engined jet airliner taxiing from right to left, along a grey taxiway. The plane has red "Jet2DotCom" titles on the upper forward fuselage, and the black registration "CS-WFP" just aft of a small Portugese flag on the lower rear. The tail is a deep blue, with a stylised number "2" made up of red, mint green, and light blue sections. The engine pods mounted under the wings are the same deep blue as the tail, with the up-turned wing-tips are the same mint green as in the number on the tail. A strip of green grass stretches across the foreground, with a grey cargo building stretching across the background with a grey and red jet airliner parked in front on the right. A couple of grey buildings with hotel logos on top are visible over the top off that building, with trees beyond them, under hazy grey skies.

Side view of a twin engined jet airliner moving from left to right at high speed, with flaps extended from the rear of the wing and the nose-wheel raised sharply, suggesting it is in the middle of taking off. The plane is almost entirely white, with plain red tail and engine pods, mounted under the wings. There are small, blue, "Estonian Air" stickers un the first 2 passenger cabin windows, while the black registration "ES-AEB" is over the last 2. The up-turned wingtips are also bright red.

Side front view of a high-winged, single engined light aircraft parked facing to the left in a field of grass. The plane is mostly white, with a blue and red swirly stripe running along the body and up into the tail, overlaid with the blue registration "G-BNTP" on the side of the rear fuselage. An orange traffic cone, filled with weights, is attached to the underside of each wing, weighing it down in case of high winds. Another plane can be seen in the background on the left, under this planes wing, with more grass, and trees in the distance visible under the wing on the right. Flat white sky fills the rest of the frame.

Side view of a single engined light aircraft flying from right to left at a very low altitude, maybe 2 or 3 metres above a grass runway, with flaps extended from the rear of the wings, and flying straight and level, suggesting it is about to land, the fixed undercarriage not telling us anything. The plane is white, with a thin yellow and blue stripe running along the body, overlaid with the blue registration "G-LACB" on the side of the rear fuselage. There is a red star, with the side arms made from a pair of pilots wings, overlaid with an image of a light aircraft soaring into the sky, in the middle of the white tail. Grass fills the foreground and most of the background, with trees and bushes marking the airfield perimeter in the distance.

Side view of a very large, 4 engined jet airliner flying from right to left at a very low altitude, with undercarriage extended, flaps deployed from the front and rear of the wings, and the nose raised sharply, suggesting it has just taken off.
