Shackleton

Side view of a high-winged, single engined light aircraft flying from right to left at a very low altitude, less than a metre above the ground, with flaps extended from the rear of the wings, suggesting it is about to land on the grass runway below it. Thew plane is mostly white, with a red stripe running along the body, overlaid with the black registration "G-CGFG" on the side of the rear fuselage, a red panel on top of the engine cowling in front of the cockpit, and a red stripe at the top of the tail. A bright red light is shining right on the top of the tail. Short green grass fills the foreground, with longer grass in the background, and trees in the distance, all blurred into a smear.

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.
