Glasgow

Side view of a twin jet-engined, military light bomber taxiing from left to right along a black runway with it's wings folded up. The plane is covered in an olive-green and grey camouflage, with blue and red roundels on the lower forward fuselage, under the cockpit, and under the outer wing panels, the latter visible because the wings are raised into their stowed position. There is a blue and red fin flash on the tail, next to the grey number "864". The cockpit canopy is in the slid back position, with both crew members visible in their tandem seats. Green grass lines the runway in the foreground, with a large grey building dominating the background on the right, with rolling, tree covered hills fading into the hazy grey sky.

Rear side view of a single engined light aircraft parked facing to the right on black tarmac. The plane is largely white, with a thin blue and yellow stripe running along the body, overlaid with the black registration "G-LACB" on the side of the rear fuselage. There is a red star on the white tail, made up of an upper case letter "A" with wings at the sides, overlaid with the silhouette of a small plane flying upwards, and with the text "LAC Flying School" at the bottom. Black tarmac fills the foreground, with a red brick building in the background, on the right, and trees on the left, with a tall bridge in the distance, under flat grey sky.

Side view of a twin propellor-engined, World War 2-era fighter-bomber accelerating from right to left along a grey tarmac runway, with it's tail wheel raised off the ground, suggesting it is taking off. The plane has a grey and olive green camouflage scheme on the upper body and upper wing surfaces, with grey belly and undersides of the wings. There are 3 white and 2 black bands under the lower rear fuselage. The pale mint green letters "E-HT" are either side of a blue, white, and red roundel, outlined in yellow, on the rear fuselage, with the black serial "RR299" just after, under a red, white, and blue fin-flash on the tail. Green grass fills the foreground, with trees on small hills in the background.

Side view of a high-winged, twin engined jet airliner lined up waiting for take off on a grey runway. The plane is largely white with a dark blue belly, and dark blue "British Airways" titles on the lower forward fuselage. A twisted, red and blue ribbon is on the upper forward fuselage, immediately aft of the cockpit windows, and the black registration "OY-NCL" is on the upper rear fuselage. The tail is white, with rippling red stripes either side of a rippling dark blue triangle in the middle. The horizontal stabiliser, mounted at the top of the tail, is casting it's own shadow on the top and front of the tail, which suggests that the sun is up in the top left corner somewhere. Green grass fills the foreground, lining both sides of the runway. Trees in the distance meet grey clouds and blue sky.

Side view of a single engined light aircraft taxing from right to left across a grass airfield. The plane is a silvery grey, with a black and red stripe swirling it's way along the body, and the black registration "G-CGVT" on the lower rear fuselage. There is black text "Mainair Flying School", alongside a telephone number on the rear half of the tail. Metallic grey spats with black and red stripes cover the wheels on the undercarriage. Two people can be seen in the cockpit through the comically oversized bubble canopy. Green grass fills the foreground and most of the background, with trees on the airfield perimeter, rolling hills in the far distance, and blue sky at the top of the frame.

Somewhat grainy side view of a 4 propellor-engined cargo plane parked on a grey taxiway facing to the left. The plane is mostly white, with a green and black stripe running along the body, with green "Atlantic Cargo" titles on the upper fuselage, over the wings, and the black registration "G-LOFA". The tail has a pair of green and black stripes at the top, with a large, black and white image of a stooping falcon over green "Atlantic" titles at the bottom. Large areas of green grass divided by taxiways fill the foreground, with more grass leading up to trees in the distance, under grey sky.
