Side view of a two-seat, open-cockpit auto-gyro parked facing to the right on a concrete pad surrounded by grass. The plane's body is mostly blue, with a white belly, with blue covers over the rear tricycle wheels, and a metal frame extending backwards from under the rear-mounted engine, holding the blue tai, as well as the blue horizontal stabiliser, with blue, vertical end plates on the ends of the stabiliser. The white registration "G-YROA" is on the tail. Another metal frame rises up from behind the rear cockpit, holding the main rotor. A red sleeve covers the end of the main rotor above the front of the plane, attached to the nose by a long red cord. Green grass fills the foreground and most of the background, with a couple of white vans on the grass in the distance, and trees beyond that, meeting gorgeous blue sky at the top of the frame.

Rear side view of a red, 2 seat autogyro taxiing from right to left with the main rotor locked in place. It is basically a red fibreglass shell wrapped around a metal frame, with a pair of open tandem cockpits with large perspex windshields, with a motor bolted on the back powering a pusher propellor, and another metal frame sticking backwards out of the bottom carrying the red tail on an angular metal boom. An uncovered nosewheel sticks out of the bottom of the fuselage, with a pair of rear wheel on struts, partially covered with red sponsons stick out to the sides from under the engine. The silver registration is on the red tail right at the back.Several metal poles stick out from the engine, just above the rear cockpit, supporting and providing some control to the large, 2-bladed main rotor. Both cockpit seats are filled, with people wearing matching flying suits, with red arms and legs and black bodies, as well as white full-face helmets. Grey tarmac taxiway fills the foreground, with 2 wings of an old, brown brick office building in the background, close enough to possibly be hit if the main rotor was spinning, with a white, high-winged, light aircraft parked between the wings.

Front view of a blue, 2 seat gyrocopter parked facing the camera. The aircraft has no wings, but instead a rotor like a helicopter, but also has a pusher propellor at the rear. The fuselage is dark blue on the top surfaces, with a creamy white belly. It is parked on a small concrete slab surrounded by grass, with a brown wooden fence separating the airfield from parked cars, with tall trees behind, under pale grey skies.
