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.

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.

Rear view of a very large, 4 engined jet airliner facing directly away from the camera. The plane is almost entirely white, with a red band around the rear fuselage, with a green and black diagonal stripe visible on the tail, and a red patch under the body. A large engine under each of the massive wings (and another engine further out on each side) match the planes humungous fuselage and tail, and somehow manage to make the trees in the background seem small. Shooting through a chainlink fence results in some slight vignetting in the bottom half of the frame. Cloudy grey sky with streaks of blue fill the rest of the frame.

The centre-engine intake at the bottom of the front of the tail has a red baffle inside, with white text "Trident Three" on the side of the faded green intake, and a quarter of a British flag on the side of the tail. A long yellow pole is attached to the plane's nose-wheel, running out of the lower right of the frame. A set of white air-stairs is parked against the forward door on the other side of the plane. Grey gravel fills the bottom of the frame, with another, military grey aeroplane visible under this plane's nose. Trees and a large, green metal box tower over the plane on the left of the frame.
