AirShow

Side view of a high-winged, single propellor-engined light aircraft flying straight and level from right to left at a very low altitude, with flaps extended from the rear of the wings, suggesting it is about to land. The plane is white, with a blue and black stripe running along the body, overlaid with the black registration "G-BPVA" on the sides of the rear fuselage, with similar stripes running over the spats on the undercarriage. Green grass fills the bottom of the frame, except for a narrow strip of yellow grass that runs across the frame. Trees fill the background.

Side view of a long and thin twin propellor-engined airliner taxiing from right to left along a black taxiway. The plane is mostly white, with a thin red and blue stripe running along the body, and large blue "BinAir" titles under the cockpit windows. There are large blue letters "BA" on the tail, and the black registration "D-CPSW" on the rear fuselage, next to a large German flag. Green grass lines the taxiway in the foreground, with a roll of razorwire on top of a fence visible right at the bottom. More grass lines taxiways and a runway in the background, leading up to trees vanishing in to mist in the distance.

Side view of a high-winged, 34 propellor-engined military transport aircraft parked facing to the right on a black runway, with it's cargo ramp in the rear fuselage deployed, with a vehicle moving along the runway that has obviously just come out of the back of the plane. The plane is covered in a grey and green-brown camouflage scheme, with small "Royal Air Force" titles on the side of the forward fuselage, the large black number "218" under the cockpit windows on the nose. There is a large blue and red roundel on the side of the rear fuselage, followed by the small serial "XV218". The black number "218" is repeated on the tail, over a blue and red fin flash. Green grass fills the foreground, with more grass on the far side of the runway. More grass in the background leads up to a pair of white and blue jet fighters on the left, and blue hangars on left and right, with trees beyond, under flat white sky.

Side view of a twin propellor-engined, World War 2-era fighter-bomber accelerating from right to left along a grey tarmac runway, with it's tail wheel raised off the ground, suggesting it is taking off. The plane has a grey and olive green camouflage scheme on the upper body and upper wing surfaces, with grey belly and undersides of the wings. There are 3 white and 2 black bands under the lower rear fuselage. The pale mint green letters "E-HT" are either side of a blue, white, and red roundel, outlined in yellow, on the rear fuselage, with the black serial "RR299" just after, under a red, white, and blue fin-flash on the tail. Green grass fills the foreground, with trees on small hills in the background.

Side view of a twin engined jet airliner taxiing from left to right along a grey taxiway. The plane is largely white, with light and dark blue "Air Transat" titles on the upper forward fuselage, with the black registration "C-GOIM" on the upper rear. The tail and rear fuselage are light blue, with a diagonal silver band separating the blue and the white. The outline of a large silver star adorns the tail. Large grassed areas and grey taxiways fill the foreground, with rolling grey hills in the background, under blue-grey sky.

Front side view of a microlight aircraft parked on grass, facing to the right, with its left wingtip resting on the ground. What little fuselage there is, is a metal frame covered in a carbon fibre shell, with a pair of tandem seats in an open cockpit on top, with a small engine driving a pusher propellor immediately behind, suspended under a large, triangular parasol wing. A small nosewheel is embedded in the forward shell, with main gear covered in yellow spats are on the end of outriggers attached just in front of the engine. The carbon fibre shell is bright yellow, with the wing being mostly yellow, and blue leading edges and cream trailing edge. The black registration "G-MTMW" is on the underside of the left side of the wing. Green grass fills most of the bottom of the frame, with another microlight with a yellow and purple wing on the right of the background, and a single engined light aircraft taxiing away from the camera on the left. Bright but hazy sky fills the rest of the frame.
