Side view of a white military transport helicopter parked facing to the left on a black tarmac taxiway. The helicopter has a blue stripe running along the body and tail boom, with a zig-zag down to below the cockpit windows. Sponsons on the rear fuselage house the main landing gear. A large panel that normally covers the engine has been dropped down, exposing the inner workings. A large sign has been placed against the nose, giving some detail about the aircraft. In the background, crowds of people are visible behind waist-level metal fences, with some tents and other exhibits behind them. Dismal grey skies fill the rest of the frame.

Elevated side view of a twin propellor-engined airliner parked facing to the left. The plane has a grey upper half, with black "British Airways" titles on the upper forward fuselage, and a dark blue ower half, with a red pin-stripe running along the body, ending in a half arrowhead at the front. The grey registration "G-BTPF" is on the lower rear fuselage, next to the open rear passenger door. The tail is dark blue on the top half, with a grey heraldic crest, and grey at the bottom, with a dark blue and red triangle towards the rear. Grey concrete apron fills the foreground, with a grey metal mesh blast barrier on the bottom left corner, while the background has more apron leading up to a terminal building whit a white airbridge with the Manchester Airport logo hanging off the side. The centre fuselage and engines of a white jet airliner can be seen in the top left corner. A re-fueling truck and a couple of laden baggage trucks can be seen parked in the background.
