Side view of a white, single-engined light aircraft parked facing to the right on grass. The plane is mostly white, with red, orange, and yellow stripes wrapped around the nose and running along the body, overlaid with the red registration "G-CCDS" on the side of the rear fuselage. Similar but thicker stripes run from front to rear of the middle of the wings. There are images of a couple of frolicking characters on the tail, one wearing red and blue clothes and playing a red pipe, with the other wearing orange, green, and yellow clothes, doing a handstand. Green grass fills the foreground, with more grass in the background, leading up to trees in the distance. A man wearing a green t-shirt is walking behind the plane's rear fuselage, with more light aircraft parked just beyond that. Blue-grey sky fills the top of the frame.

Side view of a large, twin-engined jet airliner moving at speed from left to right along a black runway. The plane is mostly a light sandy brown, with gold titles in an Arabic script on the upper forward fuselage, followed by larger, gold "Etihad" titles in English, just ahead of the wing root. There is smaller golden text "From Abu Dhabi To The World" on the lower forward fuselage. A geometric pattern, mostly made up of triangles in shades of grey, brown, and white, fills the top and bottom of the rear fuselage, eventually meeting just in front of the tail, which is also covered in this design. The black registration "A6-ETD" is on a white part of the rear fuselage. The large engine pods under the wings are white, with , with a black and brown "F1" logo (a black, upper-case letter "F", on the left, a brown gradient on the right, and a number "1" in white negative space in the middle), and the black and brown text "2017 Formula 1 Etihad Airways Abu Dhabi Grand Prix" on the side. Green grass fills the foreground, with more grass and a brown taxiway leading up to a grey terminal building visible under the tail on the right, and the white forward fuselage of another plane in front of some trees on the left. Grey-blue sky fills the rest of the frame.

Side view of a white, twin engined jet airliner parked on a runway facing to the left. The plane has a very pale blue, thick stripe running along the body under the passenger cabin windows, with a green stylised flying bird that looks as if drawn by a single stroke of a brush behind the cockpit, and green "Cathay Pacific" titles on the upper forward fuselage. The tail is green with a larger white version of the bird logo. The upturned wingtips are also green, this time with just the tips of the birds wings bleeding through from the white underside of the planes wings. The engine pods slung under the wings are the same pale blue as the body stripe. A wide strip of green grass dominates the foreground, with a black mesh metal fence stretching across the bottom of the frame. In the distance, grey hangars can be seen under the planes nose, with a wide grey terminal under the mid and rear fuselage, Blue sky with smears of thin grey cloud fill the rest of the frame.

Side view of a long, thin, twin engined jet airliner with the engines mounted on the sides of the rear fuselage, parked on a runway waiting for it's take-off clearance. The plane is largely white, with silvery-grey "Scandinavian Airlines" titles above and below the forward cabin windows, just aft of the forward door. The grey registration "EI-FPJ" is on the side of the lower rear fuselage, just in front of the engine pods. The engine pods themselves are red at the front and white at the rear, with white "Scandinavian" titles on the red portion. The dark blue tail has white "SAS" titles at the bottom, a design repeated on the up-turned wingtips. Green grass fills the foreground, lining the sides of the grey runway. More grass lines taxiways in the background, with a grey terminal building in the distance on the right of the frame, with a large grey hangar and a tall grey and black tower on the left. Blue sky with wisps of grey cloud fill the top of the frame.

The nose and forward fuselage of a large, military jet bomber aircraft, mounted on a red metal cradle, and pointed to the right of the frame. The remnant of the plane is mostly covered in a faded grey and brown camouflage scheme, with a pale grey belly, and a large, blue and red roundel on the side of the fuselage, under the cockpit. A white sign can be seen on the front of the metal cradle, the top reading "Tickets for the Vulcan cockpit", the rest being cut off. Cars can be seen in the background, parked on a large grassed area, with white buildings in the distance on the right, and rolling hills on the left, under grim grey sky.

Side view of a high-winged, 4 engined jet airliner taxiing from left to right along a grey taxiway, with flaps extended from behind the rear of the wings, suggesting it has just landed on the runway behind it. The plane has a white top half and a grey lower half, with black "Brussels Airlines" titles on the lower forward fuselage, the lower parts of the letters "INE" obscured by a patch of grey paint. There is the black web address "BrusselsAirlinesDotCom" on the upper rear fuselage, just above the rearmost cabin windows, with small EU and Belgian flags below the windows. A dark blue diagonal band wraps around the rear fuselage and tail, with the white registration "OO-DWC" on the rear fuselage, and a lower-case letter "B" made up of a line of red dots filling the tail. Green grass fills the foreground, with another taxiway stretching across the foreground. More grass separates the plane from a runway in the background, with yet more grass leading up to trees in the distance, under bright but hazy sky.

Front view of a twin engined jet airliner parked facing to the left on grey concrete apron. The plane is largely white, with a dark blue belly, and a yellow stripe running along the body, and dark blue, billboard-style "RyanAir" titles on the upper forward fuselage, just aft of a large, dark blue Irish winged harp. The same harp is on the dark blue tail, this time in yellow. The engine pods under the wing are the same as the fuselage, white on top and a dark blue belly, separated by a yellow stripe. Built-in airstairs are deployed from the forward cabin door on the far side. Bright sunlight coming from the right casts a strong shadow on the apron on the left of the frame. Pale blue sky with a smear of white cloud fills the rest of the frame.

On This Day 26th October 1993.Read More

Side view of a twin engined jet airliner flying from left to right at a very low altitude, with it's rearmost wheels just leaving the ground, flaps deployed from the front and rear of the wings, and the nose raised sharply, and fluff forming on top of the wings, suggesting it has just taken off, and that this is a cold and damp day. The plane has a grey top half and white lower half, with large, purple "Qatar" titles on the upper forward fuselage, with smaller, grey titles in an Arabic script a bit further aft, above the wing root. There is a small Qatari flag on the upper rear fuselage, above the black registration "A7-AEI". The up-turned wingtips are the same purple as the titles. Dark grey stripes run along the tail, overlaid with an image of an animal with a pair of horns sticking up and backwards from the top of it's head. This logo is repeated in a smaller form on the side of the grey engine pods, under the wings. Green grass fills the foreground, with a black roadway right at the bottom of the frame, and a browny-grey taxiway running from side to side a bit further up. More grass in the background leads up to trees in the distance, under flat, murky grey sky.

Side view of a white, twin propellor-engined BizProp rotating as it takes off, moving from right to left with it's nose-wheel lifted off the ground and main wheels just lifting. There is a thin gold and blue stripe running along the body, turning up into the tail and getting wider, the gold stripe wrapping over the top of the body, the blue stripe forming the front of the tail. Ther registration "G-LYDF" is on the lower part of the tail, reflecting low but strong sunlight. The plane's pilot can be seen through the cockpit side window, but the dark cabin doesn't reveal any passengers. Green grass fills most of the foreground, with more grass leading up to a large grey hangar on the right, and the forward fuselage of a white jet airliner with blue and red "Avro RJX" titles on the side on the left of the frame. Leafless trees and grey sky fill the rest of the frame.
