Side view of a single-engined bi-plane taxiing across a grass field from left to right. The plane is mostly white, with blue, purple, red, orange, and yellow stripes on the body, resembling the body of an eagle, with the wings covered with similar coloured stripes resembling eagle wings. 2 people can be seen sitting in the tandem-seated cockpit, under a large bubble canopy. Short green grass fills the foreground, with longer green grass in the background, leading up to trees in the distance.

Rear side view of a white, large twin engined jet airliner taxiing from left to right. There is a thick, very pale blue stripe running along the body, overlaid with green "Cathay Pacific" on the forward fuselage. There is a thick green band around the tail, with a thick, white brush stroke resembling a flying bird in the middle, a design repeated in a smaller form under the cockpit. An array of blue and white or yellow and white planes are lined up, facing in various directions in the background. Rows of trees stretch across the rear of the frame, marking the edge of the airfield, under grey skies.

Side view of a black, twin propellor-engined light aircraft parked facing to the left on grass. There is a red stripe running along the body, sweeping under the rear fuselage, and another red stripe running diagonally up the tail. The red registration "G-BHEH" is on the side of the rear fuselage, partially obscured by the horizontal stabiliser. Green grass fills the foreground and much of the background, with trees and bushes leading off into the distance, eventually getting swallowed up in hazy grey cloud that fills the top of the frame.

A rather weather-beaten and rusty lump of metal that has been left on grass, ostensibly to rot. Vaguely resembling a light aircraft designed by someone who had only heard a description of an aeroplane, there is a place in the nose for an piston engine, with a cockpit just after that, and what appears to be a single vestigial jet engine on the top rear of the fuselage. The whole thing is covered in rust except where it has been burned, mostly around the nose and the wings. It is surrounded by grass, with a red plastic barrier lying on the ground beside it, and a green metal fence off to one side of the background, with bushes beyond that. Blue sky with fluffs of white cloud fill the rest of the frame.

Winglet Wednesday 23rd September 2026.Read More

Side view of a twin engined jet airliner flying from left to right at a very low altitude, with undercarriage extended, and flaps drooping from the rear of the wings, suggesting it is about to land. The plane is mostly white, with red "FlyPGSDotCom" titles on the side of the forward fuselage, and the black registration "TC-NCP" just aft of a small red and white Turkish flag on the upper rear fuselage, as well as small, black "Airbus A320 Neo" stickers on the side of the lower rear, just below the windows underneath the registration. Similar stickers adorn the sides of the white engine pods under the wings. The tail is a dull yellow, with diagonal red "Pegasus" text along the leading edge. The up-turned wing-tips are the same yellow, with a stylised white image of a flying horse at the bottom. Blue sky with fluffs of white cloud fill the rest of the frame.

Side view of a very large, 4 engined jet airliner lining up on a grey runway as it prepares for take-off. The plane is largely white, with large, thin, purple "Virgin Atlantic" titles on the upper forward fuselage, mostly between the windows of the upper and lower decks. There is an image of a flying woman, wearing a red leotard, and wearing a UK flag as a cape, under the cockpit windows at the front of the upper deck. The partial registration "-VAST" can be seen on the lower rear fuselage, the last two letters "ST" also appearing on the open nose-wheel doors. The tail and rear fuselage are a shiny, scarlet redd, with seemingly hand-drawn, white "Virgin" titles across the middle, and the small white letters "ST" right at the top. The engine pods are a similar shiny scarlet, as are the up-turned wing-tips. Green grass fills the foreground, with a couple of bushes in the bottom left corner, and black metal mesh fence supported by black metal poles runs across the bottom of the frame. More grass is visible in the background, under the body of this plane, with a terminal building on the right, with several planes parked against it. Pale blue sky with wisps of white cloud fill the top of the frame.
