Heathrow

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 black, twin propellor-engined light aircraft parked facing to the left on grass. There is a red stripe running along the body, sweeping under the rear fuselage, and another red stripe running diagonally up the tail. The red registration "G-BHEH" is on the side of the rear fuselage, partially obscured by the horizontal stabiliser.

Side view of a very large, white, 4 engined jet airliner moving from right to left . The plane is mostly white, with purple "Virgin Atlantic" titles on the upper forward fuselage, and a scarlet red rear fuselage and tail, with white "Virgin" titles. The upturned wing-tips have part of a waving Union Flag. The engine pods slung under the wings are the same scarlet red, with the rear 1/3rd of the cowling having moved backwards to expose the thrust reversers, which along with the flaps hanging from the rear of the wings is slowing the plane after landing. Taxiways lined with strips of grass fill the foreground, with a grey terminal building with several planes parked in front of it stretching across the frame, under grey-blue skies.

Side view of a very large, 4 engined jet airliner taxiing from left to right along a black taxiway. The plane is mostly white, with a thin, diagonal band running from under the forward fuselage, just aft of the nose-wheel, to over the top of the centre-fuselage, just aft of the wings, and large, green "PIA" titles on the side of the forward fuselage, between the upper and lower passenger decks, partially covering some of the lower deck windows. There is some ornate Arabic calligraphy on the upper forward fuselage, just below and aft of the cockpit, which takes the name of the airline in Arabic and turns it into a piece of art. There is a waving green flag on the white tail, with a white star and crescent moon in the centre. Damp, black apron fills the foreground, with a multitude of airliners, mostly white with orange, blue, green, and red highlights, parked in the background, mostly facing to the right, but a couple on the right of the frame are facing left. Tall lighting poles are dotted around the planes in the background, reaching up to the sky. Trees in the distance give way to a rolling landscape, with buildings and more trees leading off to the horizon, meeting cloudy grey skies.
