Side view of a small, single-engined biplane light aircraft taxiing from left to right on a grass airfield. The plane is mostly red, with a pair of white stripes running along the body, overlaid with the white registration "G-HOON" on the rear fuselage. White text on the tail reads "Pitts", in a rather ornate font, with smaller "S-1S" text in a more normal typeface below. The rear, moving portion of the tail is painted in a red and white checkerboard pattern. The upper surfaces of the wings and horizontal stabiliser are covered in a red and white sunburst pattern. The plane's pilot can be seen through the close, blue-tinted cockpit canopy, wearing a grey cloth flying helmet. Short green grass fills the foreground, with slightly longer grass filling the background.

Side view of a white, twin engined jet airliner facing to the left on a grey runway. The plane has a pale blue belly, and pale and dark blue "FlyBe" titles above a series of yellow, red, and purple dots on the forward fuselage. These titles are repeated on the sides of the engine cowlings with additional "[dot] com" titles, as well as on the tail, minus the dots. Green grass fills the bottom of the frame, with the razor-wire on the top of the perimeter fence visible right at the bottom. More grass in the background leads up to a large grey hangar in the distance on the right, and trees on the left, under blue-grey sky.

Side view of a white, twin propellor-engined airliner parked on a runway facing to the left, it's propellors blurred as they spin. The plane has red "LoganAir" titles on the upper forward fuselage, followed by black text "Scotlands Airline". The registration "G-LGNT" is on the upper rear fuselage, in black. The tail is covered in a red, black, and white tartan pattern. Green grass fills the foreground, with more grass in the background leading up to a large grey building in the distance. Pale blue sky with smears of grey cloud fill the rest of the frame

Side view of a rather sleek looking, single engined light aircraft parked taxiing from left to right along a grey tarmac taxiway. The plane is almost entirely red, with the black letters "OXI" (part of the registration) visible on the side of the rear fuselage. A large bubble canopy covers the 2 seat cockpit. Long, spindly legs coming from under the wing carry the main wheels, which have streamlined red spats over the wheels. Green grass fills most of the background, with trees stretching along the top of the frame in the distance.

Side view of a white, high-winged, twin propellor-engined light aircraft, parked facing to the left in a brown brick hangar. The plane has a pair of green stripes running along the body, widening as they move rearwards, and a green tail outlined in white. The fixed undercarriage has spats covering the top of the wheels, with the top half painted green, the lower half in white. The registration "G-BFBD" is on the rear fuselage in black. Several light aircraft can be seen parked in the background on the left, behind this plane's nose. Brown brick walls stretch across the background, with grey vertical metal support beams at intervals. Boarded-up windows fill the top of the walls.

Side view of a twin propellor-engined parked facing to the left on grass. The plane is largely white, with a black and brown stripe running along the body and engine cowlings, as well as along the top of the tail. The black registration "N889VF" is on the lower rear fuselage with a brown drop shadow. Green grass fills the foreground, with more grass leading up to trees in the distance under flat grey sky, with a tall electricity pylon reaching into the sky, with wires stretching across the width of the frame.

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.
