Side view of a twin engined jet airliner accelerating from right to left along a black runway. The plane is mostly white, with multi-coloured "Small Planet" titles along the fuselage, successive letters in red, blue, purple, yellow, and green. The black registration "LY-SPE" is on the lower rear fuselage. The engine pods mounted under the wings are a deep blue, with white "SmallPlanet.Aero" text. The tail is dark blue, with a stylised multi-coloured globe and yellow stars. Lush green grass fills the foreground, with tall green trees in the distance behind the plane on either side, under blue sky with smears of cloud.

Side view of a military single engined jet fighter taxiing from left to right along a black runway. The plane is in an olive green camouflage, with the white registration "OY-SKA" on the side of the rear fuselage, and a white, blue, and yellow crest on the tail. The plane has a tandem 2 seat cockpit, one pilot sitting behind and above the other. A black taxiway fills the foreground, with grass in the background leading up to trees in the distance, under grey sky.

Low side view of a high-winged, twin propellor-engined airliner flying from left to right at a low altitude, with undercarriage lowered and flaps extended from the rear of the wings, suggesting it is about to land. The plane is almost entirely purple, with an orange and purple band around the rear fuselage, and a white tail-cone and tail. There are white., billboard-style "FlyBe" titles above 6 white dots on the side of the forward fuselage, with similar diagonal titles in light and dark blue on the tail, over 2 orange, 2 red, and 2 purple dots. The white titles are also inverted on the underside of the fuselage. The engine pods mounted out on the wings are also purple, with the main undercarriage hanging down on long, spindly legs from the rear. The black registration "G-JECZ" is on the side of the tail-cone right at the rear. Flat grey clouds fill the rest of the frame.

Almost head-on view of a single-engined, high-winged light aircraft parked facing to the left of the camera on a grassy field. The plane is mostly in a golden finish on the body and wings, with silver engine cowlings and doors. The wooden propellor has white, red, and white bands on the tips. The red registration "G-RWIN" is visible on the tail. Green grass fills the foreground and most of the background, with trees in the distance visible over the tops of the wings, meeting grey sky.

Side view of a small, sleek, single engined light aircraft flying from right to left t a very low altitude, just a few metres above a grass runway. The plane is a bright scarlet red, with a large glazed canopy over the 2-seat cockpit, with only the rear seat filled. Long, spindly undercarriage legs extend down from the front of the wings, with large red spats over the main wheels. The spinner on the propellor is a gloss black, , as is the registration "G-COXI" on the sides of the rear fuselage. Greengrass fills the foreground at the bottom of the frame, with trees filling the background, with rolling hills and pale blue sky in the distance.

Side view of a twin engined jet airliner flying from left to right at a low altitude, with undercarriage lowered and flaps extended from the rear of the wings, suggesting it is about to land. The plane is mostly a light blue, with a white belly, and red "TUI" titles on the forward fuselage. The white registration ""G-TAWM" is on the upper rear fuselage next to a small British flag. The tail is a slightly different pale blue, with a red smiley face made up of the letters "T", "U", and "I". This same design appears of the upturned wingtips. The white engine pods under the wings have the black web address "TUI.com". Flat white sky fills the rest of the frame.

Side view of a small, white helicopter parked on a muddy patch of grass next to an orange and white traffic cone. The chopper is almost entirely white, with golden "Adern" titles on the sides of the cockpit doors, and the golden registration "G-BRBY" on the tail boom. 2 people can be seen in the cockpit, obviously having a discussion about something judging by the pointing hands. Green grass fills most of the background, leading up toa row of bushes in the distance, with trees and houses beyond that, under flat white sky.
