Side view of a single engined light aircraft flying from right to left at a very low altitude, maybe 2 or 3 metres above a grass runway, with flaps extended from the rear of the wings, and flying straight and level, suggesting it is about to land, the fixed undercarriage not telling us anything. The plane is white, with a thin yellow and blue stripe running along the body, overlaid with the blue registration "G-LACB" on the side of the rear fuselage. There is a red star, with the side arms made from a pair of pilots wings, overlaid with an image of a light aircraft soaring into the sky, in the middle of the white tail. Grass fills the foreground and most of the background, with trees and bushes marking the airfield perimeter in the distance.

Side view of a very large, 4 engined jet airliner parked facing to the left. The plane is mostly white, with a blue belly, and blue "Kabo Air" titles on the upper forward fuselage, between the upper and lower deck cabin windows. A blue circle with a red outline is on the tail, with a stylised white lightning bolt (or possibly upper case letter "N") in the middle. A tall, grey lighting pole in the foreground partially obscures the tail-cone and tail. Grey concrete apron fills the foreground, with various white airport trucks and mobile airstairs gathered in the bottom right corner. Trees fill the background, under grey skies.

A small, single engined light aircraft parked on black tarmac, facing to the right and away from the camera. The plane is almost entirely white, with only the black registration "G-CIFL" on the side of the rear fuselage, and the large bubble canopy over the cockpit marring the whiteness. Black tarmac apron fills the foreground, with a high-winged light aircraft parked on the other side of a fuel pump in the background. A large road bridge soars into the sky in the distance, stretching across the frame, under grey sky.

Side view of a single-engined light aircraft parked facing to the left on yellowing grass, right on the edge of a black tarmac taxiway. The plane is mostly white, with a 2-tone blue stripe running along the body before sweeping up the front of the tail. The registration "G-BPJD" is on the upper rear fuselage, as well as under the left wing. Another couple of planes are parked around it, as well as a couple of wooden buildings on the right. A long bridge reaches over the horizon on the left, with blue-grey sky filling the rest of the frame.

Side view of a twin engined jet airliner taxiing from right to left along a grey concrete taxiway. The plane is mostly white, with red "Jet2.com" titles on the upper forward fuselage, and much smaller black text "Airbus A330-300" under the forward passenger windows. The tail is a deep blue, with a heavily stylised number "2" in red, light blue, and aquamarine. The engine pods under the wings are the same deep blue. In the background, another jet airliner, this one grey with red and white "Jet2" titles and red text "Friendly low fares" on the upper fuselage sits in the middle of the frame, in front of a wide, grey building that stretches the width of the frame. A pair of larger grey buildings are in the distance, both with "Premier Inn" signs near the top. Grey sky fills what little space is left at the top.
