Low side view of a twin engined jet airliner fying at a very low altitude from left to right, with flaps extended from the rear of the wings and undercarriage safely stowed away, suggesting it has just taken off. The plane is mostly white, the rear fuselage slowly fading to yellow just aft of the wings. There are large, blue, billboard-style "aurigny" titles on the forward fuselage, as well as inverted on the belly, with smaller "Channel Islands" titles on the lower rear fuselage. The engine pods and upturned wingtips are also bright yellow. Above and behind, the sky is a gorgeous blue, with wisps of white cloud. — G-NSEY, Embraer ERJ190-200STD, Aurigny, crossing the perimeter fence after taking off from Runway 08R at London Gatwick, 12th September 2014.

Side view of a high-winged, twin propellor-engined airliner taxiing from left to right. The plane is mostly white, with blue "aurigny" titles on the forward fuselage. The rear fuselage fades rapidly from white to yellow, with blue "Channel Islands" titles. The tail is also yellow, with an image of a flying black and yellow bird. The engine pods are yellow, with a white flag with a red cross and a golden insignia in the middle. In the foreground, there are signs planted in the grass, the front faces being orange, all other sides are yellow. In the background, large grass areas are seperated by stretches of tarmac, some of which have red and white barriers with red lights on top, indicating that some of the taxiways are shut. Trees show the perimeter of the airfield, with a hill fading in to haze under a grey sky. — G-VZON, ATR72-500, Aurigny, taxiing out to cross Runway 23R on it’s way to 23L at Manchester Airport, 10th January 2017.

Side view of a high-winged, twin propellor-engined airliner facing to the left. The plane is mostly white, with large blue "aurigny" titles on the forward fuselage, and smaller "Guernsey" titles on the lower rear fuselage. The rear fuselage and tail fades rapidly to yellow, with a large image of a black and white flying bird on the rear fuselage. The engines mounted on the wings are yellow, with a waving white flag with a red cross in the middle, the middle of the red cross itself covered with a yellow cross. In the background, an airport terminal building can be seen, with a tall tower with a large glazed section at the top is in the middle of the frame. The sky above is a hazy blue. — G-LERE, ATR72-500, Aurigny, lining up on Runway 23L at Manchester Airport, 15th May 2019.

Low side view of a twin engined jet airliner flying at low altitude from left to right, with nose raised, flaps retracting, and undercarriage already stowed away. The plane is mostly white, with the front 2/3rds (ish) of the fuselagebeing dominatedd by that colour, before just aft of the wings it slowly starts turning bright yellow. The forward fuselage carries large blue billboard-style "aurigny" titles, which are repeated on the belly, although the latter appear upside-down from our perspective. The vertical wingtips and engine cowlings are also bright yellow, with the flag of Guernsey (a white background with a thin red cross in the centre, overlaid with a golden circular emblem) on the engines. The lower rear fuselage carries blue "Channel Islands" title, while the tail has a large image of a Puffin (a black bird with white breast and facxe, and a large orangey-red beak) in flight. Behind, the sky is a gorgeous blue. — G-NSEY, Embraer ERJ190-200STD, Aurigny Air Services, crossing the airpoort perimeter as it powers out of Runway 08R at London Gatwick, 12th September 2014.
