Side view of a small, single-engined, single-seat light aircraft, parked facing to the left on grass. The plane is mostly cream coloured, with white engine cowling and #wingtips, and the black registration "G-SJMW" on the rear fuselage. There is a gold stripe on the forward fuselage, with a small UK flag, and the black text "SD-1 Minisport". Strong sunlight coming from the top left of the frame is casting a strong shadow on the ground under the plane. Green grass extends into the distance, with several light aircraft parked on both sides of the image, facing in towards the middle. Trees in the distance meet blue sky with a slight hint of haze.
