Side view of a high-winged, single-engined light aircraft taxiing from left to right along a short-mown grass taxiway. The plane is largely white, with a grey and red stripe running along the body, overlaid with the black registration "G0CIRZ" on the side of the rear fuselage. The white spats on the undercarriage has a red stripe resembling a stylised flying bird with wings outstretched for gliding. The white tail has a circular red logo for the manufacturer on the rear half, with the white text "C42" outlined in red on the bottom. The front half has the black text "MainAir Flying School", with a telephone number underneath. A red and grey stripe stretches across the whole of the tail, about 3 quarters of the way up.
