DH89

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 very large, 4 engined jet airliner parked facing to the right on a large section of concrete apron. The plane is almost entirely white, with large, golden "Emirates" titles on the forward fuselage, between the 2 passenger deck windows. A large, diagonal version of the United Arab Emirates flag fills the tail and part of the upper rear fuselage. Grey taxiways and a strip of green grass fills the foreground, with several more jet airliners parked in the background, with trees in the distance, under grey sky.

The plane has a white top half with a grey belly, with a green and black stripe running along the body, and green "Caernarfon Air World" titles on the lower forward fuselage. A man can been seen sitting in the highly glazed cockpit, with a woman staring out from one of the curved, angular passenger cabin windows.

Side view of a small, white helicopter parked on a muddy patch of grass next to an orange and white traffic cone. The chopper is almost entirely white, with golden "Adern" titles on the sides of the cockpit doors, and the golden registration "G-BRBY" on the tail boom. 2 people can be seen in the cockpit, obviously having a discussion about something judging by the pointing hands. Green grass fills most of the background, leading up toa row of bushes in the distance, with trees and houses beyond that, under flat white sky.
