The nose and forward fuselage of a large, military jet bomber aircraft, mounted on a red metal cradle, and pointed to the right of the frame. The remnant of the plane is mostly covered in a faded grey and brown camouflage scheme, with a pale grey belly, and a large, blue and red roundel on the side of the fuselage, under the cockpit. A white sign can be seen on the front of the metal cradle, the top reading "Tickets for the Vulcan cockpit", the rest being cut off. Cars can be seen in the background, parked on a large grassed area, with white buildings in the distance on the right, and rolling hills on the left, under grim grey sky.

Side view of a single engined light aircraft parked facing to the left on grass, it's rear fuselage hanging out over black asphalt. The plane has a white top half and a red lower half, with 3 gold stripes running through the middle, separating the two halves. The white registration "G-BTNV" is on the lower rear fuselage, partially obscured by the left wing. There is small, gold, seemingly hand-written text "Warrior II" on the engine cowling at the front, and small black text "Piper" under a red and blue triangle on the white bottom of the tail. The top of the tail is also red, with 3 gold stripes between the white and red. Green grass fills the foreground, with black asphalt and grey concrete in the background, with more grass in the distance.

Side view of a high-winged, single-engined light aircraft taxiing from left to right along a black taxiway. The plane is mostly white, with a red and grey stripe swooping it's way along the body, overlaid with the black registration "G-CIRZ" on the side of the rear fuselage. White spats cover the landing gear, with a red stripe running through the middle. The white tail has a grey and redd stripe running across the top third, with an image of a brown and white flying bird against a red circle at the top of the front, fixed section, and the black text "MainAir Flying School" and the telephone number "0161 787 5034" towards the bottom. The rear, movable part of the tail has the red outline of a circle with 3 highly stylised flying birds in the middle, and the text "Ikarus C42", over the grey and red stripe. Black asphalt taxiway fills the foreground, with grey concrete taxiway on the left of the background, and a red brick building with red window-frames filling the right.

Low side view of a very large, 4 engined jet airliner flying from left to right at a low altitude, with undercarriage lowered and flaps extended from the front and rear of the wings, suggesting it is about to land. The plane is mostly light grey, with large, black, billboard-style "CargoLux" titles on the side of the forward fuselage, and a red and blue stripe running along the body before sweeping up into the tail. The black registration "LX-VCA" is on the lower rear fuselage, with the last three letters repeated on the open nose-wheel doors. Blue sky with fluffs of white cloud fill the rest of the frame, with the tops of some trees visible at the bottom.

Side view of a twin engined jet airliner taxiing from right to left along a grey taxiway. The plane is largely white, with a long and slim orange triangle reaching from above the cockpit to the lower rear fuselage, resembling nothing more than a bandana, overlaid with the white text "EasyJet" on the upper forward fuselage. The black registration "G-EZTZ" is on the upper rear fuselage. An orange band is wrapped around the rear fuselage and tail, with large, diagonal white text "EasyJet" along the leading edge. Bright orange engine pods hang under the wings, with triangular orange vertical plates on the end of the wings. Green grass and bushes fill the foreground, along with a mesh metal fence on metal supports, with more grass leading up to a grey runway in the distance, with a wide river beyond that, and an industrial landscape on the far banks. White and grey clouds floating in a blue sky fill the rest of the frame.

Side view of a rather sleek, single-engined light aircraft parked facing to the right on close-cropped grass. The plane is white on top with a grey lower half, separated by a thin, wavy red stripe running along the body. The red registration "G-CGLT" is on the upper rear fuselage, and there is a grey-red-grey-red strip along the top of the white tail. A white spat covers the nosewheel, while the spats over the main wheels have the same white and grey with a red stripe design as the body. Green grass fills the foreground, with a man wearing a yellow hi-viz vest and dark blue trousers standing by the far wing-tip, looking out to the rest of the airfield. A red light aircraft is in the background on the left, a high-winged yellow plane in the middle, and a white and orange plane on the left, with trees in the distance, under blue sky.

Side view of a single-engined, high-winged, light aircraft parked facing to the right on short-mown grass. The plane is mostly white, with a red and green swirly stripe running along the body, the swooping up into the top of the tail and back down again, overlaid with the blue registration "G-BNTP" on the side of the rear fuselage. White support struts come from the side of the lower forward fuselage, stretching diagonally up and out towards a point about a quarter of the way along the wing. A rope dangles from a hook where the strut meets the wing, attached to a red traffic cone resting on the ground, acting as a weight in high winds. Short green grass fills the foreground, as well as much of the background, with a pair of light aircraft visible on the left of the frame, the nearest one white and blue with a white high wing, and the other silver, with a yellow and black checkerboard pattern on the rear of the tail, over laid with a red star. Trees in the far distance meet fluffs of white cloud that fill the top of the frame, with blue patches peeking through.

Side view of a high-winged, single-engined light aircraft, parked facing to the left and slightly away from the camera in the middle of a grass field. The plane is mostly white, with an orange/grey/orange stripe starting just aft of the propellor and swooping up over the rear fuselage, just aft of the rear cabin window, and the silvery-grey registration "G-IHXD" on the side of the rear fuselage. Close-cropped green grass fills the foreground and much of the background, with slightly longer grass filling the top of the frame.

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.
