Side view of a 4 engined military jet submarine-hunter aircraft, parked facing to the right on concrete hard-standings in the middle of a field of gravel, on outdoor display in a small museum. The plane is entirely grey, with a large grey probe extending forward from above the cockpit windows, reaching out of the right side of the frame. The engines are buried in pairs in the wing root, with red covers inside the intakes. A blue pod hangs from a pylon under the right wing. Grey gravel fills the foreground, with metal barriers making a walkway up to a grey set of mobile airstairs parked against the planes main door behind the cockpit. Lush grey sky fills the top of the frame.

Side view of a large, single-engined bi-plane rolling along a grass runway with it's tail-wheel raised into a flying position. The plane is mostly white, with the upper forward fuselage and engine cowling painted black, and a blue, white, and red roundel outlined in yellow under the rear cockpit in the middle fuselage. There are small "Royal Navy" titles on the rear fuselage, above the serial "LS326". There is a red and blue fin flash on the tail. There are 3 people visible in the 2 open cockpits on top of the plane, all bundled up in thick leather, fur-lined flying jackets and leather flying jackets - the pilot in the front cockpit, facing forward and concentrating on flying, as he should do, and 2 crew in the rear who are waving at the crowd. Short green grass fills the foreground, with trees lining the airfield perimeter in the background, under cloudy grey skies.
