S1S

Side view of a small, red, single-seat bi-plane flying from right to left at a very low altitude, just a couple of metres above the ground, quite possibly in the middle of taking off. The plane is almost entirely red, with a pair of white stripes running along the body, looping in from above and under the engine cowling in the nose, overlaid with the white registration "G-HOON" on the side of the rear fuselage. A similar design, minus the registration, is on the spats covering the main landing gear at the front of the plane. The front half of the tail is the same bright red, with white text "Pitts S-1S" at the top, while the rear is covered in a red and white chequerboard pattern. The wings are red, with similar but thicker white lines running from front to back, and along the width. Green grass fill the rest of the frame, blurred into a smear, with the plane casting a strong shadow on the airfield below it, suggesting the sun is fairly low down on the left of the frame.
