Side view of a twin engined jet airliner parked facing to the right. The plane is almost entirely grey, with a dark grey stripe running a long the body, zig-zagging it's way along the front fuselage. There is the bright yellow registration "G-VYGL, and the 4 passenger doors on the side of the fuselage are outlined in the same yellow. A tall light pole is in the foreground, immediately in front of the forward fuselage, and reaching up out of the top of the frame. A metal grid fence is in front of the plane's nosecone, and a fuel truck is parked in front of the right-hand engine. Green grass lines taxiways in the foreground, with more jet airliners in the background on the left of the frame, and various vehicles and apron furniture parked on the right. More light poles stretch to the top of the frame in the distance, in front of masses of trees, under bright but hazy sky.

Side view of a twin engined jet airliner taxiing from left to right along a black runway, with flaps extended from the front and rear of the wings. It is turning off the runway onto a taxiway, which suggests it has just landed. The plane is largely white, with a thick purple stripe running along the body, covering the passenger cabin windows, with an orange pinstripe below, over a thin gold stripe that gets wider as it moves rearwards, curving down to run under the rear fuselage. There are purple "Singapore Airlines" titles on the upper forward fuselage, just forward of a small Singapore flag. The up-turned wingtips are mostly the same purple, with a bright orange diagonal stripe along the trailing edge. This design is repeated on the tail, with the addition of a highly stylised, golden flying bird in the middle. Green grass fills the foreground, a black sign with a pair of white chevrons pointing left in the bottom right corner, and a black metal mesh fence on black support struts in the lower right. More grass in the background leads up to trees in the distance, under blue-grey sky.

Low front view of a high-winged, twin propellor-engined airliner flying from left to right at a very low altitude, with undercarriage lowered from sponsons on the lower fuselage, and flaps extended from below the wings, suggesting it is about to land. The plane is mostly white, with a dark blue-green tail with lime-green piping and a lime-green shamrock, and small, green "Regional" titles on the lower forward fuselage. The black registration "G-CMJL" is on the lower rear fuselage, as well as under the left wing. The 6-bladed propellors attached to the blue-green engine pods on the wings are almost blurred into smears, reflecting golden sunlight. Pale blue sky fill the rest of the frame, with wisps of white cloud in the lower left corner.

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.

The plane is mostly white, with a pale blue belly, and light and dark blue "FlyBe" titles on the side of the forward fuselage. There is the light blue web address "WWWDotFlyBeDotCom"on the side of the white engine pods on the front of the wings, again with a pale blue belly, and the black registration "G-LGNO" on the upper rear fuselage. The large, pale blue text "Fly" is just in front of the horizontal stabiliser at the rear of the fuselage, with dark blue "Be" diagonally on the white tail, just above. Green grass fills the foreground, lining the near side of the runway, with a grass bank on the far side meeting trees in the distance, under flat grey sky.

Side view of a twin engined jet airliner moving rapidly from left to right on a slightly damp runway. The plane is mostly white, with a dark blue belly, dark blue "British Airways" titles on the forward fuselage below the forward cabin windows, below the forward and mid-cabin doors, and a twisted blue and red ribbon on the upper forward fuselage, just aft of the cockpit. There are 3 wavy lines (red, blue, red) on the tail. The rear half of the blue engine pods mounted under the wings has slid back, exposing the engine thrust reversers. The spray from the nose and main wheel suggests this plane is moving pretty fast, while the flaps extended from the rear of the wings and the open thrust reversers suggest this plane has just landed. Strips of green grass line the runway and a taxiway in the foreground, while trees are visible over the top of this plane in the background. The blue tail and blue and white fuselage of another plane can be seen in the background on the right. Dreary grey skies fill the rest of the frame.

Side view of a very large, white, 4 engined jet airliner moving from right to left . The plane is mostly white, with purple "Virgin Atlantic" titles on the upper forward fuselage, and a scarlet red rear fuselage and tail, with white "Virgin" titles. The upturned wing-tips have part of a waving Union Flag. The engine pods slung under the wings are the same scarlet red, with the rear 1/3rd of the cowling having moved backwards to expose the thrust reversers, which along with the flaps hanging from the rear of the wings is slowing the plane after landing. Taxiways lined with strips of grass fill the foreground, with a grey terminal building with several planes parked in front of it stretching across the frame, under grey-blue skies.

Side view of a single-engined light aircraft parked on grass facing to the left. The plane is a silvery-grey on top and white on the bottom, with the red registration "G-BOPU" on the rear fuselage. In then foreground, black tarmac is on the right, with green grass on the left. In the background, a white and red, twin propellor-engined aircraft is parked facing to the right on the left of the frame, with the red and brown tail of another single engined plane facing to the left on the right of the frame, and a small helicopter behind that. Trees line the airport perimeter in the distance, under pale blue sky.
