C130

Side view of a high-winged, single-engined light aircraft parked facing to the left on grass. The plane is mostly dark blue, with a thick white stripe running along the bottom of the body, with a thinner white pinstripe running from the nose to the tail, under the cockpit, overlaid with the white registration "G-AWVA" on the side of the rear fuselage. There is a white stripe near the top of the tail, with the word "Cessna" in black. Orange and white traffic cones are attached to the underside of support struts running from the bottom of the fuselage to the underside of the mid-point of the wings by a long blue rope, acting as weights in case of high winds. Green grass fills the foreground. A silver light aircraft is in the background, a blue cover over the cockpit area, with it's silver, yellow, and black tail towering over this plane. More grass in the background leads up to trees and bushes beyond that, with rolling hills meeting grey sky in the distance.

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.
