Low-down close-up of the nose and cockpit of a three-engined jet airliner, parked facing to the right, with the rest of the fuselage and tail visible on the left of the frame. The plane is white on the top, with a grey lower half, and a dark blue stripe, faded to green, running along the body, covering the passenger cabin windows. There are white "BEA" titles with large red drop-shadows on the upper forward fuselage. The black registration "G-AWZK" is on the lower rear fuselage, just forward of the side-mounted engines. The centre-engine intake at the bottom of the front of the tail has a red baffle inside, with white text "Trident Three" on the side of the faded green intake, and a quarter of a British flag on the side of the tail. A long yellow pole is attached to the plane's nose-wheel, running out of the lower right of the frame. A set of white air-stairs is parked against the forward door on the other side of the plane. Grey gravel fills the bottom of the frame, with another, military grey aeroplane visible under this plane's nose. Trees and a large, green metal box tower over the plane on the left of the frame.

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.

Side view of a twin engined jet airliner taxiing from left to right, following a yellow line marked on a grey concrete taxiway. The plane is almost entirely blue, with large, white "Zoom" titles on the sides of the forward fuselage, covering the passenger cabin windows, and smaller, white web address "WWWDotFlyZoomDotCom"on the upper mid fuselage, over the rear of the wings. The small white registration "C-GZMM" is on the upper rear fuselage, above the rearmost passenger windows, just forward of a small, red and white Canadian flag, above smaller white text "Boeing 767-300ER" under those windows. Large, white, diagonal "Zoom" titles are on the blue tail. Grey concrete apron fills the foreground, with a variety of jet airliners, mostly white with blue or red highlights, parked in the background, with tall lighting poles reaching into the sky scattered amongst them. Brown trees run across the frame in the distance, with buildings and rolling hills beyond that at the top of the frame, under grey-blue sky.

Side view of a twin engined jet airliner taxiing from left to right, crossing over a roadway marked on the surrounding grey apron area. The plane is almost entirely white, with black "Virgin Atlantic" titles on the upper forward fuselage, with the black registration "G-VEVE" on the side of the lower rear fuselage, almost hidden by the plane's wing. There is additional black text "Airbus A350-1000" on the lower forward fuselage, and an image of a flying woman wearing a red mini-dress and trailing a waving UK flag from her right wrist, below the cockpit windows. The tail is a bright red, wrapping around part of the rear fuselage, with white, seemingly hand-written "Virgin" titles across the middle, with the last 2 letters of the registration, "VE", at the top in white. The engine pods under the wings and the upturned wing-tips are the same bright red, with white "Virgin" titles on the inner faces of the wing-tips. A white airport bus is following a cargo loader along the roadway marked on the apron in the foreground, with another cargo loader and a baggage truck parked on the right of the roadway, with grey apron filling the rest of the foreground. More grey apron fills most of the background, with a black and grey terminal building stretching into frame from the right in the distance, with a pair of jet airliners parked nose-in to it. Another twin-engined airliner is being towed towards the camera, parallel and to the left of the marked roadway, with yet another airliner parked, facing to the left, on the left of the frame, it's nose and forward fuselage out of frame. A veritable forest of tall lighting poles fill a great deal of the apron in the distance, with trees running from one side of the image to the other beyond that, under grey sky.

Side view of a two-seat, open-cockpit auto-gyro parked facing to the right on a concrete pad surrounded by grass. The plane's body is mostly blue, with a white belly, with blue covers over the rear tricycle wheels, and a metal frame extending backwards from under the rear-mounted engine, holding the blue tai, as well as the blue horizontal stabiliser, with blue, vertical end plates on the ends of the stabiliser. The white registration "G-YROA" is on the tail. Another metal frame rises up from behind the rear cockpit, holding the main rotor. A red sleeve covers the end of the main rotor above the front of the plane, attached to the nose by a long red cord. Green grass fills the foreground and most of the background, with a couple of white vans on the grass in the distance, and trees beyond that, meeting gorgeous blue sky at the top of the frame.

Front view of a very large, 4-engined jet airliner being disconnected from a low-slung white tug that has just pushed it back from it's stand. The plane is almost entirely white, with a red tail with indistinct white markings on the side. There are large, thin, purple "Virgin Atlantic" titles on the side of the upper fuselage, with an image of a flying woman wearing a ed leotard and trailing a waving United Kingdom flag from her left wrist, under the cockpit windows, above the small black text "Ruby Tuesday".

More concrete apron fills the near background, with the blue rear fuselage and tail of another jet airliner coming into frame on the left. A ground level car park in the distance stretches across the frame, with trees beyond, under a grey sky.
