BHX

Side view of a twin propellor-engined BizProp aircraft parked facing to the left on grass. The plane is mostly white, with a dark and light brown stripe running along the body, engine cowlings in front of the wings, the tips of the wings, and the top of the tail. The black registration "N889VF" is on the lower rear fuselage, a brown drop-shadow giving it a slight 3-D look. Green grass fills the foreground, with a red metal plate with yellow hazard markings lying on the ground. More grass in the background, leading up to trees at the airfield boundary, with tall metal pylons carrying electrical cables across the image, under flat grey sky.

Front view of a single-engined bi-plane taxiing from left to right along a black asphalt taxiway, it's propellor in the nose little more than a spinning black blur. The plane is mostly yellow, with a wide black stripe outlined in red , running along the body, overlaid with the red registration "G-OKAY" on the side of the rear fuselage. A thinner black stripe with thicker red outline is on the spats over the main wheels on the front of the body. The pilot can be seen through the large bubble canopy. Green grass fills most of the background, with several light aircraft parked on the left, with trees beyond, under grey-blue sky.

Front side view of a twin engined jet airliner parked facing to the right, nose-in to it's gate, as seen from inside the terminal building. The plane is largely white, with large, red, apparently hand written "Leisure" titles on the forward fuselage and a thick blue strip running along the body under a thin red pinstripe. The black registration "G-UKLJ" is on the upper rear fuselage, with the last two letters, LJ, repeated on the open nose-gear doors. The tail is white, with half of a waving UK flag in the middle. The bed of a white and pink catering truck is raised to the open rear door of the plane, with a low, white, baggage belt by an open cargo door in the belly just behind the wings, and another cargo door open in front of the wings. In the background, on the right, a brown and cream terminal building stretches across the frame from the right, with a couple of planes parked in front, with pale blue sky filling the rest of the frame.

Side view of a very large, 4 engined jet airliner flying from right to left at a very low altitude, with undercarriage extended, flaps deployed from the front and rear of the wings, and the nose raised sharply, suggesting it has just taken off. The plane is mostly white, with large purple "Virgin Atlantic" titles on the upper forward fuselage, and an image of a flying woman wearing a red leotard and a cape made out of a British flag under the cockpit windows. The tail and rear fuselage is a vibrant red, with white, hand-written "Virgin" titles. The engine pods mounted under the wings are the same red, as are the planes up-turned wing-tips. Green grass fills the foreground, while a grey terminal building stretches across the background, with a tall grey tower with black top floors soars into the grey sky on the left.

Side view of a twin engined jet airliner moving at speed from right to left along a black runway. The plane is largely white, with purple "EuroWings" titles on the upper forward fuselage, and smaller, black registration "D-AEWR" just aft of small EU and German flags on the upper rear. Pale blue and purple swirls adorn the tail and tail cone, some connected by grey swirls. Bright sunlight reflects strongly off one of the open landing gear doors under the wing, suggesting that the sun is more or less behind the camera. Green grass fills the foreground, lining the side of the runway, with more grass visible under the plane in the background, with trees in the distance under pale blue sky with purple fluffs of cloud.

Side view of a white, single-engined light aircraft parked facing to the right on grass. The plane looks very sleek, with smooth flowing lines, and a large bubble canopy over the side-by-side cockpit. The plane has a grey belly, with a thin red stripe separating that from the white, and red registration "G-CGLT" on the side of the rear fuselage. The fixed, nose-wheel undercarriage has white sponsons over the wheels. Green grass fills the foreground, with a strong shadow being cast on the ground, suggesting the sun is high in the sky. More light aircraft can be seen in the background - a red one on the left, a yellow one with a high wing in the middle, and a white and orange one on the right. Trees in the distance meet blue sky.
