View from almost directly below of a white, twin engined jet airliner with a dark purple belly, a yellow rear fuselage and tail, and blue "Monarch" titles on the upper forward fuselage, flying from left to right at a very low altitude, with flaps extending from the rear of the wings, undercarriage already tucked away, and the nose raised sharply, suggesting it has just taken off. Vivid blue sky fills the rest of the frame.

Side view of a pair of propellor-engined aircraft, a very small one with two enginesmounted on top of a larger one with only a single engine, taking off while trailing smoke for an air display. The lower one has a high-mounted wing, giving a large space to fit a frame to hold the smaller plane, which has a low mounted wing. The lower plane is mostly white, with a red stripe running along the belly, and blue "Brittany Ferries" titles on the rear fuselage under a waving red and white flag. It has twin tails carried on either end of the horizontal stabiliser, the top and bottom sections of the tails painted red, with the registration "F-GDPX" on the outer surfaces. There are 2 pilots dressed in red jackets visible through the large cabin windows. The upper plane is small - really small. Everything about this plane looks comical, especially compared to it's partner. Very small engines are mounted above the wing, driving very small propellors. A massive 2-piece bubble canopy sits above the fuselage, through which can be seen the pilot, who barely fits in to the canopy. This plane is white, with a red stripe on the belly, and "Brittany Ferries" titels on the fuselage under the cockpit, with the same red and blue flag. A larger version of that flag, tilted the other way, is on the tail. The registration "F-PZTU" is on the rear fuselage. There are a pair of smoke canisters, one under each wing, which will be turned on once the planes seperate. Behind them, the sky is a flat grey. — F-GDPX, Max Holste MH-1521M Broussard, and F-PZTU, Colomban MC-15E Cri-Cri, in the colours of Brittany Ferries, their sponsor, taking off in a VERY close formation ĥfor a flying display at the Woodford Air Show, some time in the 1990s.
