Side view of a rather sleek, single-engined light aircraft parked facing to the right on close-cropped grass. The plane is white on top with a grey lower half, separated by a thin, wavy red stripe running along the body. The red registration "G-CGLT" is on the upper rear fuselage, and there is a grey-red-grey-red strip along the top of the white tail. A white spat covers the nosewheel, while the spats over the main wheels have the same white and grey with a red stripe design as the body. Green grass fills the foreground, with a man wearing a yellow hi-viz vest and dark blue trousers standing by the far wing-tip, looking out to the rest of the airfield. A red light aircraft is in the background on the left, a high-winged yellow plane in the middle, and a white and orange plane on the left, with trees in the distance, under blue sky.

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.

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.
