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 twin engined jet airliner taxiing from right to left along a grey taxiway lined with green gr4ass. The plane is mostly white, large, dark grey "Thomas Cook" titles on the upper forward fuselage, partially covering the passenger cabin windows, , with small, grey "Airbus A320" text on the lower forward fuselage, and the grey registration "G-TCAE" next to a small UK flag on the lower rear. A diagonal yellow band wraps around the rear fuselage, next to a light grey band, which is next to a dark grey band which wraps around the tail and the end of the rear fuselage. A large yellow love-heart fills the middle of the tail, with bright yellow matching engine pods mounted under the wings. Grass lines both sides of the taxiway, as well as another taxiway and a runway in the background. Grey sky fills most of the rest of the frame, with a bright spot on the upper middle.

Side view of a bright red, 2 seat autogyro, parked facing to the left. The aircraft has a sleek red body, with large, fully glazed doors under a large white rotor, with a smaller white pusher propellor at the top of the rear fuselage. A low, thin red tail boom carries the red tail, a large central fin with smaller end-plates on the horizontal stabiliser. The first couple of letters of the registration is visible on the central fin in grey. There are small, grey and black "M24 Orion" titles on the top of the fuselage, just ahead of the pusher prop. Green grass fills the foreground, with several grey cars lined-up side-by-side behind a grey metal fence in the background, with trees in the distance under hazy grey skies.

Side view of a twin engined jet airliner taxiing from right to left onto a grey runway. The plane is largely white, with a red rear fuselage and tail. There are grey "Helvetic" titles on the side of the forward fuselage, with smaller grey text "Airways" below. The black registration "HB-JVO" is on the upper rear fuselage, just forward of the rear cabin door. There is a large white cross on the red tail, as well as on the red up-turned wingtips. Green grass lines the runway in the foreground, with more grass in the background leading up to trees in the distance, under grey-blue sky.
