Pitts

Side view of a red, single-engined biplane taxiing from left to right on a grass airfield. A pair of white lines wrap above and below the engine cowling in the nose, then run towards the rear, getting thinner as they go, overlaid with the white registration "G-HOON" on the lower rear fuselage, just aft of the bubble canopy over the single seat cockpit. The text "Pitts S-1S" is on the top half of the front of the red tail, with a red and white checkerboard pattern on the rear. The checkerboard pattern is repeated on the outer faces of the undersides of the wings. The white propellor at the front is a spinning white blur. Red spats over the main wheels have similar white stripes on the side Green grass fills the rest of the frame.

Elevated side view of a twin propellor-engined airliner parked facing to the left. The plane has a grey upper half, with black "British Airways" titles on the upper forward fuselage, and a dark blue ower half, with a red pin-stripe running along the body, ending in a half arrowhead at the front. The grey registration "G-BTPF" is on the lower rear fuselage, next to the open rear passenger door. The tail is dark blue on the top half, with a grey heraldic crest, and grey at the bottom, with a dark blue and red triangle towards the rear. Grey concrete apron fills the foreground, with a grey metal mesh blast barrier on the bottom left corner, while the background has more apron leading up to a terminal building whit a white airbridge with the Manchester Airport logo hanging off the side. The centre fuselage and engines of a white jet airliner can be seen in the top left corner. A re-fueling truck and a couple of laden baggage trucks can be seen parked in the background.
