Runway23Right – MancAvGeek

Side view of a high-winged, single-engined light aircraft flying from right to left at a very low altitude, just a couple of metres above the white numbers on a grass runway. The plane is mostly white, with a light and dark blue stripe running along the body and up into the lower parts of the tail, overlaid with dark blue registration "G-BPVA" on the rear fuselage. The plane has flaps extended from the rear of the wings, and is flying more or less straight and level, suggesting it is just about to land. Green grass fills the foreground, with trees filling the background.

Side view of a green, high-winged, twin propellor-engined airliner flying from left to right at a low altitude, with flaps extended from the rear of the wings, undercarriage retracting, and the nose raised sharply, suggesting it has just taken off. The planes top half is a dark green, with a lighter green stripe over the passenger cabin windows, and a white belly. There are white "Aer Lingus" titles on the upper forward fuselage, and green "Regional" titles at the bottom. The black registration "EI-FAS" is on the lower rear fuselage, next to a small Irish flag. There is a large, light green shamrock leaf on the tail. Pale blue sky with streaks of white cloud fill the rest of the frame.

Side view of a white military transport helicopter parked facing to the left on a black tarmac taxiway. The helicopter has a blue stripe running along the body and tail boom, with a zig-zag down to below the cockpit windows. Sponsons on the rear fuselage house the main landing gear. A large panel that normally covers the engine has been dropped down, exposing the inner workings. A large sign has been placed against the nose, giving some detail about the aircraft. In the background, crowds of people are visible behind waist-level metal fences, with some tents and other exhibits behind them. Dismal grey skies fill the rest of the frame.

Side view of a twin engined jet airliner taxiing from left to right along a grey runway. The plane is primarily dark blue, with large white "Family Life" titles on the forward, with much smaller "Hotels" text below the last 2 letters. A pair of cartoon characters, an orange teddy bear and a yellow dog, are on the rear fuselage, either side of the white registration "G-FDZG". The tail is a light blue, with a red winky face that looks like the letters "T", "U", and "i" squished together. Green grass fills the foreground, with trees stretching across the background, under grey sky.

Side view of a single-engined light aircraft parked facing to the left on yellowing grass, right on the edge of a black tarmac taxiway. The plane is mostly white, with a 2-tone blue stripe running along the body before sweeping up the front of the tail. The registration "G-BPJD" is on the upper rear fuselage, as well as under the left wing. Another couple of planes are parked around it, as well as a couple of wooden buildings on the right. A long bridge reaches over the horizon on the left, with blue-grey sky filling the rest of the frame.

Side view of a small, red, 2-seat autogyro taxiing from right to left along a grey tarmac taxiway. The aircraft is red, with a tandem 2 seat cockpit behind a large perspex panel, with a rotor mast with a 2-bladed rotor on top coming out of the top of the fuselage behind the rear seat. A triple tail unit is on a long boom coming from the lower rear of the fuselage, with the silver registration "G-CFZX" on the sides of the larger, central tail. Both of the seats are filled, with 2 people wearing red jumpsuits and white helmets, with black straps holding them in place. A silver car with black trim is in the background immediately behind this aircraft, with a white box on wheels on the left, a yellow square with the black letter "C" in the top left corner. Trees behind a black fence fill the rest of the frame.

Side view of a high-winged, twin propellor-engined purple airliner flying from left to right at a very low altitude, with undercarriage extended and flaps deployed from the rear of the wings, suggesting it is about to land. The plane is mostly a lush purple, with a yellow and red band around the rear fuselage, and a whitetail and tail-cone. There are large white "FlyBe" titles over 6 white dots on the forward fuselage, a design replicated diagonally on the tail, only this time the text is in 2 shades of blue, and with 2 yellow dots, 2 red dots, and 2 purple. There are white "Stobart Air" titles under the forward fuselage, just over the nose-wheel doors, repeated over the rear passenger cabin windows, and the registration "EI-REM" just under those windows, also in white.

Close-up of the up-turned wingtip, wing, and centre-fuselage of a twin engined jet airliner parked facing to the left on its gate, taken from near-enough under the wing, obviously on the apron. The plane is mostly white, with a dark blue belly, and a thin yellow stripe separating the 2 colours. There are dark blue "RyanAir" titles next to a dark blue winged Irish harp on the side of the forward fuselage, the last few letters obscured by the wing. The wing itself is white, with the black registration "EI-DLI" on the underside. The winglet on the end is dark blue, with diagonal yellow "RyanAir" titles. Dramatic grey sky, with ominous fluffs of grey among bright white clouds fill the rest of the frame.

Side view of a twin engined jet airliner moving from right to left along a runway, with flaps drooping from the front and rear of the wings, suggesting it is decelerating after landing. The plane is mostly white, with large green "Alba" and red "Star" titles on the forward fuselage, and the black registration "EC-NAB" on the lower rear fuselage, next to a small Spain and EU flags. The rear fuselage is green with a curved, diagonal red bandtowards the front, while the tail is red with a large, white, stylised letter "A" in the middle, a design replicated on the up-turned wingtips. Red engine pods hang down in front of the wings. Green grass fills the foreground, with grey taxiways passing through from one side to the other. Green trees line the background, under blue-grey skies.
