Side view of a small, sleek, single engined light aircraft flying from right to left t a very low altitude, just a few metres above a grass runway. The plane is a bright scarlet red, with a large glazed canopy over the 2-seat cockpit, with only the rear seat filled. Long, spindly undercarriage legs extend down from the front of the wings, with large red spats over the main wheels. The spinner on the propellor is a gloss black, , as is the registration "G-COXI" on the sides of the rear fuselage. Greengrass fills the foreground at the bottom of the frame, with trees filling the background, with rolling hills and pale blue sky in the distance.

Side view of a high-winged, twin propellor-engined airliner turning on to a wide, grey runway. The plane is white, with a dark blue tail and rear fuselage. No other markings are visible, apart from the yellow tips of the spinning black propellors. Green grass fills the foreground, with more grass lining the other side of the runway visible under the belly. A tall and wide terminal building stretches across the frame in the distance, under pale blue sky.

Side view of a twin engined jet airliner taxiing from right to left along a grey concrete taxiway. The plane is mostly white, with red "Jet2.com" titles on the upper forward fuselage, and much smaller black text "Airbus A330-300" under the forward passenger windows. The tail is a deep blue, with a heavily stylised number "2" in red, light blue, and aquamarine. The engine pods under the wings are the same deep blue. In the background, another jet airliner, this one grey with red and white "Jet2" titles and red text "Friendly low fares" on the upper fuselage sits in the middle of the frame, in front of a wide, grey building that stretches the width of the frame. A pair of larger grey buildings are in the distance, both with "Premier Inn" signs near the top. Grey sky fills what little space is left at the top.

Side view of a twin engined jet airliner taxiing from right to left along a grey taxiway. The plane is mostly white, with a red and yellow stripe coming from under the forward fuselage, sweeping up over the wings, and along the rear fuselage, the red getting wider as it moves rearwards, until it fills the tail. There is a second yellow stripe on the rear fuselage, and yellow swirls on the tail, with a smaller version of the red and yellow tail appearing on the up-turned wingtips. There are red titles on the upper forward fuselage, in a Chinese script forward of the mid-cabin door, and in English aft of that door. The black registration "B-1020"is on the upper rear fuselage. The top floor and grey roof of an airport building stretches across the foreground, very pale blue very large fuel tanks in the background, behind a grey and blue low building, meeting foggy grey sky.

Side view of a bright red, 2 seat autogyro, parked facing to the left. The aircraft has a sleek red body, with large, fully glazed doors under a large white rotor, with a smaller white pusher propellor at the top of the rear fuselage. A low, thin red tail boom carries the red tail, a large central fin with smaller end-plates on the horizontal stabiliser. The first couple of letters of the registration is visible on the central fin in grey. There are small, grey and black "M24 Orion" titles on the top of the fuselage, just ahead of the pusher prop. Green grass fills the foreground, with several grey cars lined-up side-by-side behind a grey metal fence in the background, with trees in the distance under hazy grey skies.
