Side view of a white, single-engined light aircraft parked facing to the right on grass. The plane is mostly white, with red, orange, and yellow stripes wrapped around the nose and running along the body, overlaid with the red registration "G-CCDS" on the side of the rear fuselage. Similar but thicker stripes run from front to rear of the middle of the wings. There are images of a couple of frolicking characters on the tail, one wearing red and blue clothes and playing a red pipe, with the other wearing orange, green, and yellow clothes, doing a handstand. Green grass fills the foreground, with more grass in the background, leading up to trees in the distance. A man wearing a green t-shirt is walking behind the plane's rear fuselage, with more light aircraft parked just beyond that. Blue-grey sky fills the top of the frame.

Side view of a white, twin engined jet airliner parked on a runway facing to the left. The plane has a very pale blue, thick stripe running along the body under the passenger cabin windows, with a green stylised flying bird that looks as if drawn by a single stroke of a brush behind the cockpit, and green "Cathay Pacific" titles on the upper forward fuselage. The tail is green with a larger white version of the bird logo. The upturned wingtips are also green, this time with just the tips of the birds wings bleeding through from the white underside of the planes wings. The engine pods slung under the wings are the same pale blue as the body stripe. A wide strip of green grass dominates the foreground, with a black mesh metal fence stretching across the bottom of the frame. In the distance, grey hangars can be seen under the planes nose, with a wide grey terminal under the mid and rear fuselage, Blue sky with smears of thin grey cloud fill the rest of the frame.
