Side view of a twin engined jet airliner accelerating from right to left along a black runway. The plane is largely white, with a diagonal red band wrapped around the nose and forward fuselage, and a stylised white flower with a yellow centre on the forward cabin door. There are large, billboard-style "Edelweiss" titles on the upper fuselage, with smaller, red "Switzerland" titles in an italic font just ahead of the wing box, and the black registration "HB-IHY" on the lower rear fuselage, next to a small Swiss flag. The red tail has a larger version of the white and yellow flower logo, repeated in a smaller form on the vertical wingtip fences. Green grass lines the black runway in the foreground, with taxiways and more grass in the background, with grey hangars in the distance on either side of the image, and pale blue sky with smears of grey cloud filling 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.
