BritishMidland

Side view of a grey, twin-engined, bi-plane airliner on display facing to the left inside a museum. The plane the black name "Pioneer" in an italic script on the nose, under the cockpit windows, and the black text "Allied Airways" over smaller text "(Gander Dower) Ltd" under the forward passenger windows. The black registration on the side of the rear fuselage is partially obscured by the wing, and is pretty much unreadable, except for "-AD" in the middle. The plane sits on a patch of pale blue concrete floor, the rest of the floor being grey, with low, blue, metal barriers marking a walkway around this and some of the other exhibits in the bottom left corner. Parts of other exhibits can be seen in the background, but no details. A large, arched roof, with wooden panels forming the sides, dirty glazed panels in the middle, and large windows at the end revealing bright sky, soar over everything else in the frame.

Side view of a high-winged, twin propellor-engined airliner flying from left to right at a very low altitude, with undercarriage lowered, flaps extended from the rear of the wings, suggesting it is about to land. The plane is a dull green on the top half, with a brighter green stripe running along the body covering the passenger cabin windows, with a thinner blue stripe below that, and a white lower half. There are white "Aer Lingus" titles on the upper forward fuselage, with dark green "Regional" titles on the lower forward fuselage. The black registration "EI-FCY" is on the lower rear fuselage, just aft of a small Irish flag. Grey-blue sky fills the rest of the image.

Side view of a twin engined jet airliner taxiing from left to right along a grey taxiway. The plane is largely white, with light and dark blue "Air Transat" titles on the upper forward fuselage, with the black registration "C-GOIM" on the upper rear. The tail and rear fuselage are light blue, with a diagonal silver band separating the blue and the white. The outline of a large silver star adorns the tail. Large grassed areas and grey taxiways fill the foreground, with rolling grey hills in the background, under blue-grey sky.

Side view of a twin engined jet airliner taxiing from left to right along a grey taxiway. The plane is mostly white, with a yellow stripe running along the lower body, and large yellow "Buzz" titles outlined in black on the forward fuselage. These titles are repeated over a yellow stripe on the sides of the engine pods, under the wings. There is dark blue text "by RyanAir" under the cockpit windows, and the black registration "SP-RZD" just aft of a white and red Polish flag on the upper rear fuselage. The tail is bright yellow, with a large cartoon image of a bee, with a large upper-case letter "B" on it's black and yellow striped chest. Green grass fills the foreground, partially obscured by a stretched-out roll of razorwire on top. More grass in the background leads up to trees in the distance, under blue sky.

Side view of a single engined light aircraft parked facing to the left on grass. The plane is covered in wavy black and white stripes, looking vaguely like a zebra would if it had wings. Bright green grass fills the foreground and much of the background, with trees in the distance under blue skies. The tail of another light aircraft can be seen in the background on the left, silver at the front and a black and yellow checkerboard pattern at the rear, overlaid with a red star outlined in yellow, and the black letters "FA" under the horizontal stabiliser.

A small, single engined light aircraft parked on black tarmac, facing to the right and away from the camera. The plane is almost entirely white, with only the black registration "G-CIFL" on the side of the rear fuselage, and the large bubble canopy over the cockpit marring the whiteness. Black tarmac apron fills the foreground, with a high-winged light aircraft parked on the other side of a fuel pump in the background. A large road bridge soars into the sky in the distance, stretching across the frame, under grey sky.

Side view of a high-winged, twin propellor engined light transport plane parked on grass facing to the right. The plane is mostly white, with a dark blue lower body, sweeping up to fill the rear fuselage and tail. Green grass fills the foreground, with a white, single engined light aircraft just nosing in to frame from the left. There are several buildings in various shades of grey in the background, with a white fuel tank with red "Total" markings on the left of the frame, all under flat white 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.

Side view of a twin engined jet airliner moving at speed from right to left along a black runway. The plane is mostly white, with a pale blue belly, and large light and dark blue "FlyBe" titles above 6 coloured dots (2 yellow, 2 red, 2 purple) on the forward fuselage, a design repeated on the sides of the white engine pods mounted under the wings with additional ".com" text at the end. The light and dark blue "FlyBe" titles are repeated in a larger form but without the dots on the rear fuselage and tail. The black registration "G-FBJI" is on the upper rear fuselage. Green grass fills the foreground, lining the sides of the runway. A pair of large grey hangars dominate the background on the right, behind a large green metal wall. Pale blue sky fills the rest of the frame.
