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.

Side view of a twin engined jet airliner taxiing from left to right along a black taxiway. The plane is largely white, with dark blue "Air France" titles just ahead of a short, diagonal red band on the upper forward fuselage. The black registration "F-HZUR" is on the upper rear fuselage, with the last 2 letters repeated on the front of the open nose-wheel doors. There is additional black text "Airbus A220-300" on the lower rear fuselage. The white tail has a series of diagonal blue bands, thicker by the leading edge and getting thinner as they move rearwards, with a thicker red stripe at the lower rear, as well as a small circle of gold stars of the top of the tails. There is the blue outline of a white circle, containing a stylised image of a winged blue sea-horse, in the middle of the white engine pods, repeated on the side of the forward fuselage, in between the cockpit windows and the forward door. The up-turned wing-tips are entirely dark blue. A black mesh fence topped with razor-wire stretches across the bottom of the frame, with a small group of people on this side of the fence. Grass leads up to the taxiway the plane is on, with more grass and taxiways in the background, with the rear fuselage of a white, red, and black airliner on a runway facing out of the right of the frame in the distance. Rows of trees beyond that meet the cloudy grey sky.

Side view of a twin engined jet airliner taxiing from left to right. The plane is mostly white, with a blue belly at the front, although the rear is mostly blue with a white roof, with a light blue stripe separating the 2 sections. There are blue "Blue Air" titles on the upper forward fuselage, above the passenger cabin windows, with smaller, darker "web.com" web address below the windows. The white registration "YR-BAJ" is on the lower rear fuselage., just ahead of the aft cabin door. The tail is mostly white, with a white leading edge, and white diagonal "Blue Air" titles and "Web.com" web address. A grey runway and taxiway, lined with green grass, fills the foreground, while trees stretch across the background, under blue-grey sky.

Side view of a high-winged, twin propellor-engined airliner taxiing from left to right along a taxiway that is just low enough to appear to be covered in grass. The plane is mostly purple, with a diagonal white band wrapped around the tail and tail-cone, as well as a thin, red, diagonal band and a thicker, yellow, diagonal band wrapped around the rear fuselage. There are white "FlyBe" titles on the side of the forward fuselage, covering some of the passenger cabin windows towards the front, over a series of 6 large white dots. There is white text "Faster than road or rail" on the side of the engine pods under the wings, and the black registration "G-PRPF" on the tail-cone. There are 2-tone blue "FlyBe" titles arranged diagonally on the tail, over 2 yellow, 2 red, and 2 purple dots. Green grass fills the bottom of the frame, lining the side of a black runway, with another thin strip of grass between that and the taxiway our plane is on. Grass and trees stretch across the background, under blue-grey sky.

Side view of a twin engined jet airliner taxiing from left to right along a grey expanse of apron. The plane is mostly white, with dark blue "Kuwait" titles on the upper forward fuselage, covering the forward passenger cabin windows, with smaller blue titles in an Arabic script just aft of that, and a small Kuwait flag just behind the cockpit windows. The black registration 9K-APH is on the upper rear fuselage, just above what looks like a 3-tone blue swoosh, but on closer inspection turns out to be the stylised silhouette of a bird, with beak turned upwards towards the front, and wings spreading up and out at the rear. Part of this design, the front of the up-swept wings, is repeated on the bottom of the white engine pods, but with the addition of a dark blue bird logo towards the front, a design element repeated in white on the tail. Grey concrete apron fills the foreground, with a random white airbridge in the bottom left corner, with a strip of green grass between the 2 apron areas. A silver and red jet airliner is parked nose-in to a long, low, grey building in the background, with a taller grey building on the left, and a different building in shades of grey and yellow towering over the lower building. Trees in the distance lead up to grim grey sky.

Rear-side view of a high-winged, single-engined light aircraft parked in a vaulted-roofed metal hangar. The plane is largely white, with red and blue stripes running along the body, overlaid with the black registration "G-CTAB" on the side of the rear fuselage. A red and white sun-burst pattern covers the top of both the wings and the horizontal stabiliser. The tail is white, with 3 blue and 3 red 5-pointed stars forming a rough triangle, the word "Citabria" in an ornate script in the middle, and the small text "North West Aerobatics right at the top. Grey brushed concrete floor fills the foreground and a lot of the background, with blue internal beams supporting metal walls and ceiling. A couple of people, one wearing a yellow hi-viz vest, are facing the far wall at the end. Blooms of green and bloom light are visible in the middle and edges of the frame, caused by shooting through slightly murky glass.
