Low view of a twin-engined jet airliner flying from left to right at a very low altitude, with undercarriage lowered and flaps extended from the front and rear of the wings, suggesting it is about to land. The plane is mostly white, with barely visible, dark blue "Lufthansa" titles on the upper forward fuselage. The tail and rear fuselage are dark blue, with the outline of a silver circle containing a silver stylised flying bird on the tail. The registration "D-AIKP" is on the lower rear fuselage in black, next to a small German flag, with the letters "KP" repeated on the open section of the nose wheel doors. Bright blue sky fills the rest of the frame, with bright sunlight coming from the right.

Side view of a grey, twin-engined, bi-plane airliner on display facing to the left inside a museum. The plane the black name "Pioneer" in an italic script on the nose, under the cockpit windows, and the black text "Allied Airways" over smaller text "(Gander Dower) Ltd" under the forward passenger windows. The black registration on the side of the rear fuselage is partially obscured by the wing, and is pretty much unreadable, except for "-AD" in the middle. The plane sits on a patch of pale blue concrete floor, the rest of the floor being grey, with low, blue, metal barriers marking a walkway around this and some of the other exhibits in the bottom left corner. Parts of other exhibits can be seen in the background, but no details. A large, arched roof, with wooden panels forming the sides, dirty glazed panels in the middle, and large windows at the end revealing bright sky, soar over everything else in the frame.

Side view of a single engined light aircraft parked facing to the right in the middle of a grass airfield. The plane is in a metallic grey paint job, with twisted red and yellow ribbons running along the body, along with rows of silvery oblongs, and up into the tail. The silver registration "ZS-SUB" is on the side of the lower rear fuselage. Metallic grey spats with more twisted yellow and red ribbons cover the wheels on the undercarriage. The cockpit doors on either side are open, hinged upwards and forwards, giving access to the 4 seat cabin. Green grass fills the foreground, with more light aircraft parked, mostly facing to the right, in the background. Trees in the distance mark the airfield perimeter, with pylons holding powerlines marching across the frame beyond, under blue skies.
