Low-down close-up of the nose and cockpit of a three-engined jet airliner, parked facing to the right, with the rest of the fuselage and tail visible on the left of the frame. The plane is white on the top, with a grey lower half, and a dark blue stripe, faded to green, running along the body, covering the passenger cabin windows. There are white "BEA" titles with large red drop-shadows on the upper forward fuselage. The black registration "G-AWZK" is on the lower rear fuselage, just forward of the side-mounted engines. 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. Vivid blue sky fills the rest of the frame.

Side view of a very large, 4 engined jet airliner taxiing from left to right along a black taxiway. The plane is mostly white, with a thin, diagonal band running from under the forward fuselage, just aft of the nose-wheel, to over the top of the centre-fuselage, just aft of the wings, and large, green "PIA" titles on the side of the forward fuselage, between the upper and lower passenger decks, partially covering some of the lower deck windows. There is some ornate Arabic calligraphy on the upper forward fuselage, just below and aft of the cockpit, which takes the name of the airline in Arabic and turns it into a piece of art. There is a waving green flag on the white tail, with a white star and crescent moon in the centre. Damp, black apron fills the foreground, with a multitude of airliners, mostly white with orange, blue, green, and red highlights, parked in the background, mostly facing to the right, but a couple on the right of the frame are facing left. Tall lighting poles are dotted around the planes in the background, reaching up to the sky. Trees in the distance give way to a rolling landscape, with buildings and more trees leading off to the horizon, meeting cloudy grey skies.

Side view of a twin engined jet airliner taxiing from left to right, following a yellow line marked on a grey concrete taxiway. The plane is almost entirely blue, with large, white "Zoom" titles on the sides of the forward fuselage, covering the passenger cabin windows, and smaller, white web address "WWWDotFlyZoomDotCom"on the upper mid fuselage, over the rear of the wings. The small white registration "C-GZMM" is on the upper rear fuselage, above the rearmost passenger windows, just forward of a small, red and white Canadian flag, above smaller white text "Boeing 767-300ER" under those windows. Large, white, diagonal "Zoom" titles are on the blue tail. Grey concrete apron fills the foreground, with a variety of jet airliners, mostly white with blue or red highlights, parked in the background, with tall lighting poles reaching into the sky scattered amongst them. Brown trees run across the frame in the distance, with buildings and rolling hills beyond that at the top of the frame, under grey-blue sky.

Side view of a single propellor-engined, 2-seat military trainer aircraft parked facing to the left on rather damp, black tarmac, suggesting it has just been raining.. The plane has a grey upper forward fuselage, with a red belly, the red wrapping up and over the top just after the tandem seat cockpit under a large bubble canopy. The rear fuselage is all grey, with a red, white, and pale blue roundel outlined in white, and the serial "312-UU" in black. There is a small, circular, blue and white logo at the base of the tail, which obviously is meant to resemble something, but to me only looks like coloured blobs, below a thick red stripe., and the black number "502" right at the top. The rear fuselage and tail of a darker grey military fighter jet can be seen in the background on the left, with some sort of camouflage structure behind the planes cockpit, and crowds of people on the right, some carrying umbrellas, suggesting that it may still be raining. Grim grey sky fills the rest of the frame.

Side view of a two-seat, open-cockpit auto-gyro parked facing to the right on a concrete pad surrounded by grass. The plane's body is mostly blue, with a white belly, with blue covers over the rear tricycle wheels, and a metal frame extending backwards from under the rear-mounted engine, holding the blue tai, as well as the blue horizontal stabiliser, with blue, vertical end plates on the ends of the stabiliser. The white registration "G-YROA" is on the tail. Another metal frame rises up from behind the rear cockpit, holding the main rotor. A red sleeve covers the end of the main rotor above the front of the plane, attached to the nose by a long red cord. Green grass fills the foreground and most of the background, with a couple of white vans on the grass in the distance, and trees beyond that, meeting gorgeous blue sky at the top of the frame.

A light mounted on the side of the nose-wheel leg shines brightly down the camera lens.
