Low front view of a 3 engined jet airliner parked facing to the right on gravel. The plane is white on top, with a grey lower half, and a thick stripe that used to be dark blue but is now faded to dark green running along the body, covering the passenger cabin windows. There are red and white letters "BEA" on the upper forward fuselage, and a partial UK flag on the now-green tail. The underside of the wings is red. A long yellow pushback pole is attached to the nosewheel. White airstairs are attached to the front and rear cabin doors on the far side of the plane. Trees fill the background on the left of the frame, with a rather square and boxy green metal frame taking up most of the rest of the background, and the grey tail of another plane on the right, all under gorgeous blue 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.

Front view of a twin engined BizJet taxiing from right to left towards the camera on a wide grey taxiway. The plane is mostly white, with a green squiggle with a grey drop shadow running from under the engines mounted on the sides of the rear fuselage, forwards along the body under the passenger cabin window, then up between the cockpit windows and the main door, then rearwards again, over the top of the cabin windows, stopping about half-way along the body S similar strip runs from the bottom left to top right of the tail. There are a pair of bright lights shining in the wing root, creating a slight flare in the image, and causing bright reflections on the fuselage. A large grey and blue hangar dominates the background on the left, with cloudy grey sky filling the rest of the frame.

Side view of a high-winged, 4 propellor-engined military cargo plane parked on a black runway, with the red and white tips of the propellors a spinning blur indicating they are running full tilt, flaps extended from behind the wings, and the rear cargo loading ramp almost fully deployed, with a man wearing olive-green fatigues crouched by the end of the ramp. The plane is covered in an olive-green and grey camouflage scheme, with a blue and red roundel on the rear fuselage, next to the black serial number "VX232". There is a black number "232" on the nose under the cockpit, repeated on the tail, where it is sandwiched between a British flag above, and a red and blue fin flash below. Green grass fills the foreground, with more grass leading up to a tall grey hangar on the left, and a lower blue hangar on the left, with a couple of grey fighter jets in front of the latter. Grey sky fills the rest of the frame.
