Side view of a twin propellor-engined airliner parked facing to the left on a grey runway, it's props spinning, waiting for take-off clearance. The plane is mostly purple, with diagonal yellow and red bands around the rear fuselage, and white tail cone and tail. There are white "Flybe" titles over 6 white dots on the forward fuselage, and the white text "Faster than road or rail" on the sides of the purple engine pods under the wings. The black registration "G-PRPE" is on the white tail cone, and there are light and dark blue, diagonal, "FlyBe" titles above 2 yellow, 2 red, and 2 purple dots on the tail. Green grass fills the foreground, lining the sides of the runway, with more grass and taxiways in the background, leading up to trees in the distance, under blue sky.

Side view of a white, twin engined jet airliner taxiing from right to left. There are large, red "Jet2" titles on the forward fuselage, with smaller "Friendly low fares" on the fuselage over the wings, and "Jet2DotCom" titles diagonally on the tail. There are additional red "Jet2Dotcom" titles on the grey engine pods. The registration "G-VYGM" is on the upper rear fuselage in black. The upturned wingtips are red, with white "Jet2DotCom" titles. A building site extends across the frame, with the skeleton of a terminal building rising up from the ground, with temporary buildings and assorted mobile airstairs parked in front. A couple of large, white jet airliners can be seen through the gaps in the building site, with trees in the distance, under grey skies.

Side view of a twin engined jet airliner taxiing from right to left along a grey taxiway. The plane is largely white, with a long and slim orange triangle reaching from above the cockpit to the lower rear fuselage, resembling nothing more than a bandana, overlaid with the white text "EasyJet" on the upper forward fuselage. The black registration "G-EZTZ" is on the upper rear fuselage. An orange band is wrapped around the rear fuselage and tail, with large, diagonal white text "EasyJet" along the leading edge. Bright orange engine pods hang under the wings, with triangular orange vertical plates on the end of the wings. Green grass and bushes fill the foreground, along with a mesh metal fence on metal supports, with more grass leading up to a grey runway in the distance, with a wide river beyond that, and an industrial landscape on the far banks. White and grey clouds floating in a blue sky fill the rest of the frame.

Side view of a twin engined jet airliner taxiing from left to right along a black runway, with flaps extended from the front and rear of the wings. It is turning off the runway onto a taxiway, which suggests it has just landed. The plane is largely white, with a thick purple stripe running along the body, covering the passenger cabin windows, with an orange pinstripe below, over a thin gold stripe that gets wider as it moves rearwards, curving down to run under the rear fuselage. There are purple "Singapore Airlines" titles on the upper forward fuselage, just forward of a small Singapore flag. The up-turned wingtips are mostly the same purple, with a bright orange diagonal stripe along the trailing edge. This design is repeated on the tail, with the addition of a highly stylised, golden flying bird in the middle. Green grass fills the foreground, a black sign with a pair of white chevrons pointing left in the bottom right corner, and a black metal mesh fence on black support struts in the lower right. More grass in the background leads up to trees in the distance, under blue-grey sky.

Low head-on view of a helicopter flying towards and over the camera. The aircraft is mostly white, with a blue belly and white undersides, with black text "National Grid" on the white underside. It is equipped with landing skids instead of wheels, and has a bright light shining in the nose, just above a black camera pod on a downward facing mounting. A high shutter speed means the 4-bladed main rotor appears frozen in place. Flat grey sky fills the rest of the frame.

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.

Side view of a twin engined jet airliner taxiing from left to right along a black taxiway. The plane is largely white, with dark blue "Air France" titles just ahead of a short, diagonal red band on the upper forward fuselage. The black registration "F-HZUR" is on the upper rear fuselage, with the last 2 letters repeated on the front of the open nose-wheel doors. There is additional black text "Airbus A220-300" on the lower rear fuselage. The white tail has a series of diagonal blue bands, thicker by the leading edge and getting thinner as they move rearwards, with a thicker red stripe at the lower rear, as well as a small circle of gold stars of the top of the tails. There is the blue outline of a white circle, containing a stylised image of a winged blue sea-horse, in the middle of the white engine pods, repeated on the side of the forward fuselage, in between the cockpit windows and the forward door. The up-turned wing-tips are entirely dark blue. A black mesh fence topped with razor-wire stretches across the bottom of the frame, with a small group of people on this side of the fence. Grass leads up to the taxiway the plane is on, with more grass and taxiways in the background, with the rear fuselage of a white, red, and black airliner on a runway facing out of the right of the frame in the distance. Rows of trees beyond that meet the cloudy grey sky.

Side view of a high-winged, twin propellor-engined airliner taxiing from left to right along a taxiway that is just low enough to appear to be covered in grass. The plane is mostly purple, with a diagonal white band wrapped around the tail and tail-cone, as well as a thin, red, diagonal band and a thicker, yellow, diagonal band wrapped around the rear fuselage. There are white "FlyBe" titles on the side of the forward fuselage, covering some of the passenger cabin windows towards the front, over a series of 6 large white dots. There is white text "Faster than road or rail" on the side of the engine pods under the wings, and the black registration "G-PRPF" on the tail-cone. There are 2-tone blue "FlyBe" titles arranged diagonally on the tail, over 2 yellow, 2 red, and 2 purple dots. Green grass fills the bottom of the frame, lining the side of a black runway, with another thin strip of grass between that and the taxiway our plane is on. Grass and trees stretch across the background, under blue-grey sky.

Side view of a twin engined jet airliner taxiing from right to left. The plane is mostly white, with light and dark blue "Air Transat" titles on the upper forward fuselage, with a small, red and white Canadian flag just below the cockpit windows, and the black registration "C-GOJC" on the upper rear fuselage. The rear fuselage and tail is light blue, with the outline of a star in black, red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple, and the white number "710" at the top of the tail. The blue, upturned wingtips have the white outlines of a white star on the outer face, and a multi-coloured variant on the inner face. Grey concrete apron fills the foreground, with more leading up to trees in the distance. Airport vehicles, baggage carts, and mobile airstairs litter the airfield.
