Side view of a helicopter flying from right to left at a very low altitude, about 5 metres above the ground. It is white upper surfaces on the front of the body, with light blue "National Grid" titles on the side of the engine bay on top of the fuselage. The bottom is sky blue, sweeping up towards the rear of the fuselage, and filling the tail boom, with diagonal lime green and red stripes on the rear fuselage, and the white registration "G-RIDB" on the side of the tail boom. Green grass fills the bottom of the frame, with a row of bushes across the middle with a wooden gate with a red and white striped top bar in the centre. Trees fill most of the rest of the frame, with grey sky at the top.

Side view of a twin engined BizProp parked on a grey runway, facing to the left. The plane is mostly white, with black "Huawei" titles on the nosecone, black text "Huawei P20 Pro" on the sides of the engine cowlings on the wings, and the black registration "G-YEOM" on the lower rear fuselage. There are red "Vodafone" titles on the upper rear fuselage, next to a red circle with a white, single quote mark in the middle. The tail is red, with diagonal white "Huawei" titles next to a white stylised image of an open flower. A thin strip of green grass at the bottom of the frame lines the side of the grey runway, with more grass and a taxiway visible under the plane in the background, with a large, green, boxy metal structure in front of a large grey hangar in the distance, under blue sky.

Side view of a twin engined jet airliner taxiing from right to left along a grey taxiway. The plane is mostly white, with a red and yellow stripe coming from under the forward fuselage, sweeping up over the wings, and along the rear fuselage, the red getting wider as it moves rearwards, until it fills the tail. There is a second yellow stripe on the rear fuselage, and yellow swirls on the tail, with a smaller version of the red and yellow tail appearing on the up-turned wingtips. There are red titles on the upper forward fuselage, in a Chinese script forward of the mid-cabin door, and in English aft of that door. The black registration "B-1020"is on the upper rear fuselage. The top floor and grey roof of an airport building stretches across the foreground, very pale blue very large fuel tanks in the background, behind a grey and blue low building, meeting foggy grey sky.
