Side view of a twin engined jet airliner flying from left to right at a very low altitude, just a few metres above a black runway, with flaps extended in front of and behind the wings, the undercarriage lowered, and the nose raised, suggesting it has just taken off. The plane is blue on top, with a white lower third, the white swooping up over the wing and back down again. There are red "Thomson" titles on the upper forward fuselage, and a red winky-face made up of the letters "T", "U", and "I" on the blue tail. The blue on the rear fuselage, just in front of and below the tail, swops downwards, the space filles by a dark blue patch. The white registration "G-TUID" is on the dark blue part of the upper rear fuselage, next to a small UK flag, above the rearmost cabin windows and just ahead of the rear door, with white text "Boeing 787-8" just aft of the door. There is cream text "Dream)Liner" below the rear cabin windows. Large, white engine pods hang below and in front of the wing, the scalloped edges of the rear of the fairings being rather obvious. A black taxiway stretches across the bottom of the frame, with strips of grass separating that from the black runway, and more grass visible under the pane in the background leading up to trees in the distance, under bright but hazy sky with patches of pale blue peeking through.

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.

Side view of a twin engined jet airliner taxiing from left to right at a busy airport. The plane is largely white, with large, dark blue "Kuwait" titles on the forward fuselage just aft of the forward door, and a small Kuwaiti flag just forward of the door. A large, blue, stylised bird covers the rear of the tail and lower rear fuselage, with the black registration "9K-AKM" on the upper rear fuselage, over the birds head. A smaller, white bird is also on the tail. The white engine pods under the wing have a diagonal blue band around the rear, and a dark blue flying bird at the front.# Grey concrete apron fills the foreground, with the tail of a blue jet airliner on the left of the background, and the nose and forward fuselage of a grey and red jet airliner on the right, both parked facing grey cargo sheds, with trees behind that.

Side view of a twin engined jet airliner taxiing from left to right, following a yellow line marked on a grey concrete taxiway. The plane is almost entirely blue, with large, white "Zoom" titles on the sides of the forward fuselage, covering the passenger cabin windows, and smaller, white web address "WWWDotFlyZoomDotCom"on the upper mid fuselage, over the rear of the wings. The small white registration "C-GZMM" is on the upper rear fuselage, above the rearmost passenger windows, just forward of a small, red and white Canadian flag, above smaller white text "Boeing 767-300ER" under those windows. Large, white, diagonal "Zoom" titles are on the blue tail. Grey concrete apron fills the foreground, with a variety of jet airliners, mostly white with blue or red highlights, parked in the background, with tall lighting poles reaching into the sky scattered amongst them. Brown trees run across the frame in the distance, with buildings and rolling hills beyond that at the top of the frame, under grey-blue sky.

Side view of a twin engined jet airliner taxiing from left to right, crossing over a roadway marked on the surrounding grey apron area. The plane is almost entirely white, with black "Virgin Atlantic" titles on the upper forward fuselage, with the black registration "G-VEVE" on the side of the lower rear fuselage, almost hidden by the plane's wing. There is additional black text "Airbus A350-1000" on the lower forward fuselage, and an image of a flying woman wearing a red mini-dress and trailing a waving UK flag from her right wrist, below the cockpit windows. The tail is a bright red, wrapping around part of the rear fuselage, with white, seemingly hand-written "Virgin" titles across the middle, with the last 2 letters of the registration, "VE", at the top in white. The engine pods under the wings and the upturned wing-tips are the same bright red, with white "Virgin" titles on the inner faces of the wing-tips. A white airport bus is following a cargo loader along the roadway marked on the apron in the foreground, with another cargo loader and a baggage truck parked on the right of the roadway, with grey apron filling the rest of the foreground. More grey apron fills most of the background, with a black and grey terminal building stretching into frame from the right in the distance, with a pair of jet airliners parked nose-in to it. Another twin-engined airliner is being towed towards the camera, parallel and to the left of the marked roadway, with yet another airliner parked, facing to the left, on the left of the frame, it's nose and forward fuselage out of frame. A veritable forest of tall lighting poles fill a great deal of the apron in the distance, with trees running from one side of the image to the other beyond that, under grey sky.
