Low side view of a twin engined jet airliner fying at a very low altitude from left to right, with flaps extended from the rear of the wings and undercarriage safely stowed away, suggesting it has just taken off. The plane is mostly white, the rear fuselage slowly fading to yellow just aft of the wings. There are large, blue, billboard-style "aurigny" titles on the forward fuselage, as well as inverted on the belly, with smaller "Channel Islands" titles on the lower rear fuselage.

The plane is mostly white, with the front 2/3rds (ish) of the fuselagebeing dominatedd by that colour, before just aft of the wings it slowly starts turning bright yellow. The forward fuselage carries large blue billboard-style "aurigny" titles, which are repeated on the belly, although the latter appear upside-down from our perspective. The vertical wingtips and engine cowlings are also bright yellow, with the flag of Guernsey (a white background with a thin red cross in the centre, overlaid with a golden circular emblem) on the engines.
