Side view of a high-winged, 34 propellor-engined military transport aircraft parked facing to the right on a black runway, with it's cargo ramp in the rear fuselage deployed, with a vehicle moving along the runway that has obviously just come out of the back of the plane. The plane is covered in a grey and green-brown camouflage scheme, with small "Royal Air Force" titles on the side of the forward fuselage, the large black number "218" under the cockpit windows on the nose. There is a large blue and red roundel on the side of the rear fuselage, followed by the small serial "XV218". The black number "218" is repeated on the tail, over a blue and red fin flash. Green grass fills the foreground, with more grass on the far side of the runway. More grass in the background leads up to a pair of white and blue jet fighters on the left, and blue hangars on left and right, with trees beyond, under flat white sky.

Side view of a high-winged, 4 engined jet airliner on static display at an airshow, parked facing to the left. The plane is almost entirely white, with black "Lufthansa" titles on the upper forward fuselage, and the black registration "G-JAYV" on the lower rear. Below the registration is a panel with a slightly different shade of white, covering the registration it will have after delivery, next to a small German flag. The tail is a dark blue, with a yellow circle in the middle, containing a stylised blue flying bird, and the white letters "RF" in the top right corner. A large expanse of tarmac fills the foreground, with a row of cars on the left, and people walking around in front of the plane. Other planes can be seen in the background on the left of the planes, with a red tent on the right, and crowds of people walking around on both sides. Flat white sky fills the rest of the frame.
