OnThisDay (Page 15)

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 black, single engined military jet fighter taxiing from left to right along a grey runway. The plane is basically a large black engine pod with a white belly, with twin black tail booms stretching backwards from the wing root, carrying the small twin tails. The cockpit canopy at the front of the plane is open, slid back along the top of the fuselage, with the bright red helmet of the pilot clearly visible in the gap. The tail booms has white "Royal Navy" titles, just aft of a blue, white, and red roundel. The registration "G-GONE" is on the end of the boom in white, under the tail. Green grass fills the foreground, with a large grey building dominating the frame on the right, and trees on the left in the background, under bright but hazy skies.

Side view of a twin propellor-engined, World War 2-era bomber aircraft taxiing along a runway from left to right. The plane is covered in an olive-green and grey camouflage scheme, with thick black and white bands around the lower rear fuselage. There are very pale letters "HT-E" either side of a blue, white, and red roundel outlined in yellow. There is a blue, white, and red fin flash on the lower part of the tail, above the black serial "RR299" on the upper rear fuselage.

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.
