Runway24

Rear view of a very large, 4 engined jet airliner facing directly away from the camera. The plane is almost entirely white, with a red band around the rear fuselage, with a green and black diagonal stripe visible on the tail, and a red patch under the body. A large engine under each of the massive wings (and another engine further out on each side) match the planes humungous fuselage and tail, and somehow manage to make the trees in the background seem small. Shooting through a chainlink fence results in some slight vignetting in the bottom half of the frame. Cloudy grey sky with streaks of blue fill the rest of the frame.

Low-down close-up of the nose and cockpit of a three-engined jet airliner, parked facing to the right, with the rest of the fuselage and tail visible on the left of the frame. The plane is white on the top, with a grey lower half, and a dark blue stripe, faded to green, running along the body, covering the passenger cabin windows. There are white "BEA" titles with large red drop-shadows on the upper forward fuselage. The black registration "G-AWZK" is on the lower rear fuselage, just forward of the side-mounted engines. The centre-engine intake at the bottom of the front of the tail has a red baffle inside, with white text "Trident Three" on the side of the faded green intake, and a quarter of a British flag on the side of the tail. A long yellow pole is attached to the plane's nose-wheel, running out of the lower right of the frame. A set of white air-stairs is parked against the forward door on the other side of the plane. Grey gravel fills the bottom of the frame, with another, military grey aeroplane visible under this plane's nose. Trees and a large, green metal box tower over the plane on the left of the frame. Vivid blue sky fills the rest of the frame.

Side view of a single-engined light aircraft parked on grass facing to the left. The plane is a silvery-grey on top and white on the bottom, with the red registration "G-BOPU" on the rear fuselage. In then foreground, black tarmac is on the right, with green grass on the left. In the background, a white and red, twin propellor-engined aircraft is parked facing to the right on the left of the frame, with the red and brown tail of another single engined plane facing to the left on the right of the frame, and a small helicopter behind that. Trees line the airport perimeter in the distance, under pale blue sky.

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.

Side view of a 4 engined military jet submarine-hunter aircraft, parked facing to the right on concrete hard-standings in the middle of a field of gravel, on outdoor display in a small museum. The plane is entirely grey, with a large grey probe extending forward from above the cockpit windows, reaching out of the right side of the frame. The engines are buried in pairs in the wing root, with red covers inside the intakes. A blue pod hangs from a pylon under the right wing. Grey gravel fills the foreground, with metal barriers making a walkway up to a grey set of mobile airstairs parked against the planes main door behind the cockpit. Lush grey sky fills the top of the frame.

Front view of a twin engined jet airliner being towed from right to left, although the white tug doing the towing has turned back to the right, and the plane is slowly turning to follow. The plane is white, with a red and yellow stripe coming from under the forward fuselage, swooping over the wing and back down under the rear fuselage, widening over the wing to fill the rear fuselage and tail. There are red "Hainan Airlines" titles on the upper fuselage, in a Chinese script between the two forward cabin doors, and in English over the wing root. The black registration "B-304K" can be seen on the upper rear fuselage. An intricate yellow and gold flowery design fills the red tale. Grey squares of concrete apron fills the foreground and most of the background, with temporary buildings, white and blue mobile airstairs, and the metal support structure of a new pier under construction in the background.

Side view of a grey, twin-engined, bi-plane airliner on display facing to the left inside a museum. The plane the black name "Pioneer" in an italic script on the nose, under the cockpit windows, and the black text "Allied Airways" over smaller text "(Gander Dower) Ltd" under the forward passenger windows. The black registration on the side of the rear fuselage is partially obscured by the wing, and is pretty much unreadable, except for "-AD" in the middle. The plane sits on a patch of pale blue concrete floor, the rest of the floor being grey, with low, blue, metal barriers marking a walkway around this and some of the other exhibits in the bottom left corner. Parts of other exhibits can be seen in the background, but no details. A large, arched roof, with wooden panels forming the sides, dirty glazed panels in the middle, and large windows at the end revealing bright sky, soar over everything else in the frame.

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 a grass runway, with flaps extended from the rear of the wings, and the nose raised sharply, suggesting it has just taken off. The plane is largely white, with a thick red stripe running along the body, overlaid with the black registration "G-CGFG" on the side of the rear fuselage, and a red panel on top of the engine cowling in front of the cockpit. A large area of grass fills the bottom of the frame in the background, with trees in the distance, under pale blue sky.

Front view of a single-engined bi-plane taxiing from left to right along a black asphalt taxiway, it's propellor in the nose little more than a spinning black blur. The plane is mostly yellow, with a wide black stripe outlined in red , running along the body, overlaid with the red registration "G-OKAY" on the side of the rear fuselage. A thinner black stripe with thicker red outline is on the spats over the main wheels on the front of the body. The pilot can be seen through the large bubble canopy. Green grass fills most of the background, with several light aircraft parked on the left, with trees beyond, under grey-blue sky.
