Side view of a twin engined jet airliner moving rapidly from left to right on a slightly damp runway. The plane is mostly white, with a dark blue belly, dark blue "British Airways" titles on the forward fuselage below the forward cabin windows, below the forward and mid-cabin doors, and a twisted blue and red ribbon on the upper forward fuselage, just aft of the cockpit. There are 3 wavy lines (red, blue, red) on the tail. The rear half of the blue engine pods mounted under the wings has slid back, exposing the engine thrust reversers. The spray from the nose and main wheel suggests this plane is moving pretty fast, while the flaps extended from the rear of the wings and the open thrust reversers suggest this plane has just landed. Strips of green grass line the runway and a taxiway in the foreground, while trees are visible over the top of this plane in the background. The blue tail and blue and white fuselage of another plane can be seen in the background on the right. Dreary grey skies 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 single propellor-engined, 2-seat military trainer aircraft parked facing to the left on rather damp, black tarmac, suggesting it has just been raining.. The plane has a grey upper forward fuselage, with a red belly, the red wrapping up and over the top just after the tandem seat cockpit under a large bubble canopy. The rear fuselage is all grey, with a red, white, and pale blue roundel outlined in white, and the serial "312-UU" in black. There is a small, circular, blue and white logo at the base of the tail, which obviously is meant to resemble something, but to me only looks like coloured blobs, below a thick red stripe., and the black number "502" right at the top. The rear fuselage and tail of a darker grey military fighter jet can be seen in the background on the left, with some sort of camouflage structure behind the planes cockpit, and crowds of people on the right, some carrying umbrellas, suggesting that it may still be raining. Grim grey sky fills the rest of the frame.

Rear-side view of a high-winged, single-engined light aircraft parked in a vaulted-roofed metal hangar. The plane is largely white, with red and blue stripes running along the body, overlaid with the black registration "G-CTAB" on the side of the rear fuselage. A red and white sun-burst pattern covers the top of both the wings and the horizontal stabiliser. The tail is white, with 3 blue and 3 red 5-pointed stars forming a rough triangle, the word "Citabria" in an ornate script in the middle, and the small text "North West Aerobatics right at the top. Grey brushed concrete floor fills the foreground and a lot of the background, with blue internal beams supporting metal walls and ceiling. A couple of people, one wearing a yellow hi-viz vest, are facing the far wall at the end. Blooms of green and bloom light are visible in the middle and edges of the frame, caused by shooting through slightly murky glass.

Head-on view of a twin engined jet airliner taxiing along a black taxiway, facing directly towards the camera, but turning to it's right, following a yellow line marked on the taxiway. The plane is mostly white, with a dark blue belly, while the red engine pods are mounted towards the top of the rear fuselage, under the large T-Tail. A light mounted on the side of the nose-wheel leg shines brightly down the camera lens. Black taxiway fills the foreground, with green grass in the background leading up to a black and grey runway, with more grass on the far side leading up to trees in the distance, under grim grey sky.

Side view of a single engined light aircraft flying from right to left at a very low altitude, maybe 2 or 3 metres above a grass runway, with flaps extended from the rear of the wings, and flying straight and level, suggesting it is about to land, the fixed undercarriage not telling us anything. The plane is white, with a thin yellow and blue stripe running along the body, overlaid with the blue registration "G-LACB" on the side of the rear fuselage. There is a red star, with the side arms made from a pair of pilots wings, overlaid with an image of a light aircraft soaring into the sky, in the middle of the white tail. Grass fills the foreground and most of the background, with trees and bushes marking the airfield perimeter in the distance.

Side view of a bright orange, twin engined jet airliner flying from left to right at a low altitude, with undercarriage still lowered, flaps slightly extended from the rear of the wings, and the nose raised sharply, suggesting it has just taken off. There are large, white "EasyJet.com" titles written across the fuselage, with smaller "EasyJet" titles on the engine pods under the wings, as well as diagonally on the tail. There is a large white number "200" on the forward fuselage just under the cockpit windows, and the black registration "G-EZUI" on the lower rear fuselage. Pale blue sky with white patches of cloud fill the rest of the frame.

Side view of a high-winged, 34 propellor-engined military transport aircraft parked facing to the right on a black runway, with it's cargo ramp in the rear fuselage deployed, with a vehicle moving along the runway that has obviously just come out of the back of the plane. The plane is covered in a grey and green-brown camouflage scheme, with small "Royal Air Force" titles on the side of the forward fuselage, the large black number "218" under the cockpit windows on the nose. There is a large blue and red roundel on the side of the rear fuselage, followed by the small serial "XV218". The black number "218" is repeated on the tail, over a blue and red fin flash. Green grass fills the foreground, with more grass on the far side of the runway. More grass in the background leads up to a pair of white and blue jet fighters on the left, and blue hangars on left and right, with trees beyond, under flat white sky.
