Side view of a twin engined jet airliner parked facing to the right. The plane is almost entirely grey, with a dark grey stripe running a long the body, zig-zagging it's way along the front fuselage. There is the bright yellow registration "G-VYGL, and the 4 passenger doors on the side of the fuselage are outlined in the same yellow. A tall light pole is in the foreground, immediately in front of the forward fuselage, and reaching up out of the top of the frame. A metal grid fence is in front of the plane's nosecone, and a fuel truck is parked in front of the right-hand engine. Green grass lines taxiways in the foreground, with more jet airliners in the background on the left of the frame, and various vehicles and apron furniture parked on the right. More light poles stretch to the top of the frame in the distance, in front of masses of trees, under bright but hazy sky.

Low front view of a high-winged, twin propellor-engined airliner flying from left to right at a very low altitude, with undercarriage lowered from sponsons on the lower fuselage, and flaps extended from below the wings, suggesting it is about to land. The plane is mostly white, with a dark blue-green tail with lime-green piping and a lime-green shamrock, and small, green "Regional" titles on the lower forward fuselage. The black registration "G-CMJL" is on the lower rear fuselage, as well as under the left wing. The 6-bladed propellors attached to the blue-green engine pods on the wings are almost blurred into smears, reflecting golden sunlight. Pale blue sky fill the rest of the frame, with wisps of white cloud in the lower left corner.

Side view of a twin propellor-engined airliner flying from right to left at a very low altitude, it's wheels just centimetres above the black runway, it's raised nose suggesting it is taking off. The plane is largely white, with a black belly, red "LoganAir" titles on the upper forward fuselage, and black text "Scotland's Airline" on the upper rear. The black registration "G-LGNE" is on the lower rear fuselage. The tail and part of the rear fuselage is covered in a red, black, and white tartan. The engine pods, mounted slightly above the wings, are mostly red, with a black bottom. Green grass lines the black runway in the foreground, with more grass in the background leading up to trees in the distance, with pale grey-blue sky filling the rest of the frame.

Side view of a twin engined jet airliner flying from left to right at a low altitude, with undercarriage lowered, and flaps extended from the front and rear of the wings, suggesting it is about to land. The plane is mostly white, with a pale blue belly. There are light and dark blue, billboard-style, "FlyBe" titles on the forward fuselage, over a series of 2 yellow, 2 red, and 2 purple dots, a logo repeated on the sides of the white engine pods under the wings.

Rear side view of a white, large twin engined jet airliner taxiing from left to right. There is a thick, very pale blue stripe running along the body, overlaid with green "Cathay Pacific" on the forward fuselage. There is a thick green band around the tail, with a thick, white brush stroke resembling a flying bird in the middle, a design repeated in a smaller form under the cockpit. An array of blue and white or yellow and white planes are lined up, facing in various directions in the background. Rows of trees stretch across the rear of the frame, marking the edge of the airfield, under grey skies.

Side view of a twin engined jet airliner flying from left to right at a very low altitude, just a few metres above a black runway, with flaps extended in front of and behind the wings, the undercarriage lowered, and the nose raised, suggesting it has just taken off. The plane is blue on top, with a white lower third, the white swooping up over the wing and back down again. There are red "Thomson" titles on the upper forward fuselage, and a red winky-face made up of the letters "T", "U", and "I" on the blue tail. The blue on the rear fuselage, just in front of and below the tail, swops downwards, the space filles by a dark blue patch. The white registration "G-TUID" is on the dark blue part of the upper rear fuselage, next to a small UK flag, above the rearmost cabin windows and just ahead of the rear door, with white text "Boeing 787-8" just aft of the door. There is cream text "Dream)Liner" below the rear cabin windows. Large, white engine pods hang below and in front of the wing, the scalloped edges of the rear of the fairings being rather obvious. A black taxiway stretches across the bottom of the frame, with strips of grass separating that from the black runway, and more grass visible under the pane in the background leading up to trees in the distance, under bright but hazy sky with patches of pale blue peeking through.

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.

Side view of a twin engined jet airliner taxiing from left to right along a grey taxiway. The plane is largely white, with a cream-coloured lower and rear fuselage, separated by a green and gold stripe coming from under the lower forward fuselage, then running over the wing and towards the tail-cone. There are large, green, billboard-style "PIA" titles on the side of the forward fuselage, over smaller, golden, "Pakistan International" text. Green Arabic calligraphy sits on the side of the forward fuselage, between the cockpit windows and forward passenger windows. The green registration "AP-BGY" is on the lower rear fuselage, under the rear-most cabin windows, with black text "Boeing 777-300ER" underneath, and green Arabic text just above those windows. The tail is mostly dark green, with a white star above a white crescent moon, with white waves at the base. The large engines, mounted under the wings, are the same cream colour as the rear fuselage. Green grass fills the foreground, with grey sky filling the rest of the frame.

Side view of a white, twin engined jet airliner with the engines mounted on the sides of the rear fuselage, taxiing from left to right along a grey taxiway. There are large, grey "Helvetic" titles on the side of the forward fuselage, covering the passenger cabin windows, above smaller grey "Airways" titles. The grey registration "HB-JVF" is on the sides of the white engine pods mounted on the sides of the rear fuselage. A diagonal red band wraps around the tail and rear fuselage, with a large white cross in the middle of the tail. Lush green grass fills the foreground, while there is a blue and white airliner trying to sneak out of frame on the left of the background, and rolling hills in the distance, under bright but hazy sky.

Forward side view of a military helicopter with a heavily-glazed, bulbous cockpit, parked facing to the left on grass. It is covered in a grey and green camouflage pattern, with a blue and red roundel forward of the black word "Army" on the tailboom. The black serial "ZB666" is at the rear of the tailboom, with the grey letter "G" on the tail, just above the shrouded fan tail rotor. Green grass fills the foreground, with a large, brown brick building with windows on the upper walls covered with grey wooden planks filling the background. A white van with a yellow stripe along the body is on the left of the frame, in front of a grey and black military biplane with it's wings folded backwards.
