Side view of a twin engined jet airliner parked on grey concrete apron, facing to the left. The plane is largely white, with a dark blue belly, and a yellow stripe running along the body, separating the 2 colours. There are large, blue, billboard-style "RyanAir" titles on the sides of the forward fuselage, next to a blue, stylised winged Irish harp. The black registration "EI-EPA" is on the upper rear fuselage, next to a small Irish flag. The engine pods hanging under the wings are the same colours as the body - white on top, and dark blue at the bottom, separated by a yellow stripe. Built-in airstairs are deployed below the closed forwards cabin door, while white mobile airstairs are parked by the closed rear doors. Grey concrete apron fills the foreground, with a wide strip of grass leads up to a runway in the background, with trees beyond that. Pale blue sky with wisps of thin grey cloud fill the top half of the image.

Side view of a twin propellor-engined, World War 2-era bomber aircraft taxiing along a runway from left to right. The plane is covered in an olive-green and grey camouflage scheme, with thick black and white bands around the lower rear fuselage. There are very pale letters "HT-E" either side of a blue, white, and red roundel outlined in yellow. There is a blue, white, and red fin flash on the lower part of the tail, above the black serial "RR299" on the upper rear fuselage. Lush green grass fills the foreground, with more grass leading up to a house and a fire truck in the distance, with trees beyond, under hazy grey skies.

Side view of a single engined light aircraft parked facing to the right on grass. The plane is largely white, with a black anti-dazzle panel on top of the engines directly in front of the large bubble cockpit canopy, and a red belly. The horizontal stabiliser and the outer panels of the wings are also painted red. There is a blue, white, and red roundel on the rear fuselage, and a blue, white, and red fin flash under the red number "06" on the tail. The number "06" is repeated in white on the front of the engine cowling. The black serial "XX522" is visible under the horizontal stabiliser on the rear fuselage. Green grass fills the foreground and a good part of the background, leading up to trees and bushes lining the airfield perimeter. A man with short dark hair and wearing a yellow hi-viz vest is standing on the far side of the planes rear fuselage, accompanied by a pair of children, with the head of one wearing a hat visible over the top of the plane, and 2 pairs of legs wearing short trousers visible below. Blue sky over rolling hills in the far distance completes the image.
