There are large blue "Aurigny" titles on the rear fuselage, with additional red ".com" text immediately aft. There are smaller, blue "Channel islands" titles on the lower forward, just below the passenger cabin windows. The black registration "G-COBO" is on the front part of the yellow tail, with an image of a stubby little bird with black back and wings and white body, with wings spread wide on the main bit of the tail. Green grass fills most of the foreground, with rolls of razorwire right at the bottom. The tail and centre engine of a white BizJet can be seen in the background poking up over the wings of this plane. Grass and trees in the distance meet cloudy skies with bright patches in the middle.

The same harp is on the dark blue tail, this time in yellow. The engine pods under the wing are the same as the fuselage, white on top and a dark blue belly, separated by a yellow stripe. Built-in airstairs are deployed from the forward cabin door on the far side. Bright sunlight coming from the right casts a strong shadow on the apron on the left of the frame. Pale blue sky with a smear of white cloud fills the rest of the frame.

Side view of a twin engined jet airliner taxiing from left to right along a black runway, with flaps extended from the front and rear of the wings. It is turning off the runway onto a taxiway, which suggests it has just landed. The plane is largely white, with a thick purple stripe running along the body, covering the passenger cabin windows, with an orange pinstripe below, over a thin gold stripe that gets wider as it moves rearwards, curving down to run under the rear fuselage. There are purple "Singapore Airlines" titles on the upper forward fuselage, just forward of a small Singapore flag. The up-turned wingtips are mostly the same purple, with a bright orange diagonal stripe along the trailing edge. This design is repeated on the tail, with the addition of a highly stylised, golden flying bird in the middle. Green grass fills the foreground, a black sign with a pair of white chevrons pointing left in the bottom right corner, and a black metal mesh fence on black support struts in the lower right. More grass in the background leads up to trees in the distance, under blue-grey sky.

Side view of a twin engined jet airliner moving rapidly from left to right on a slightly damp runway. The plane is mostly white, with a dark blue belly, dark blue "British Airways" titles on the forward fuselage below the forward cabin windows, below the forward and mid-cabin doors, and a twisted blue and red ribbon on the upper forward fuselage, just aft of the cockpit. There are 3 wavy lines (red, blue, red) on the tail. The rear half of the blue engine pods mounted under the wings has slid back, exposing the engine thrust reversers. The spray from the nose and main wheel suggests this plane is moving pretty fast, while the flaps extended from the rear of the wings and the open thrust reversers suggest this plane has just landed. Strips of green grass line the runway and a taxiway in the foreground, while trees are visible over the top of this plane in the background. The blue tail and blue and white fuselage of another plane can be seen in the background on the right. Dreary grey skies fill the rest of the frame.

The plane is white, with a red and yellow stripe coming from under the forward fuselage, swooping over the wing and back down under the rear fuselage, widening over the wing to fill the rear fuselage and tail.
